The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the First ISCCP Regional Experiment-III Arctic Cloud Experiment (FIRE-III/ACE). AMPR data were collected at four microwave frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1 and 85.5 GHz) for the time period of May 18, 1998 through June 6, 1998. The FIRE-III/ACE mission studied sea-ice melting, sea-ice drift, and other sea-ice properties. The experiment was focused on the Arctic Ocean in and near the Beaufort Sea off the northern coast of Alaska, in coordination with the ice-bound research ship, Sheba.

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment (CaPE). AMPR data werecollected at a combination of frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) during the time period of July 21, 1991 - Aug. 16, 1991. CaPE took place in centralFlorida between 43 N - 25.5 N latitude and 86 W - 69 W longitude.

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the Convection and Moisture Experiment 2 (CAMEX-2). AMPR data were collected at a combination of frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) during the time period of August 23 - August 30, 1995. The geographic domain of the CAMEX-2 region was between 25.5 N - 43 N latitude and 83 W - 70 W longitude.

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) ALOFT dataset consists of brightness temperature measurements collected by the Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) onboard the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft. AMPR provides multi-frequency microwave imagery, with high spatial and temporal resolution for deriving cloud, precipitation, water vapor, and surface properties. These measurements were taken during the Airborne Lightning Observatory for Fly’s Eye Geostationary Lightning Mapper Simulator and Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (ALOFT) field campaign. ALOFT aimed to study terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) and gamma-ray glows in thunderstorms and to validate observations from the International Space Station Lightning Imaging Sensor (ISS LIS) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). Data files are available from June 15, 2023, through July 31, 2023, in netCDF-4 format.

This data consists of data provided by the Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) flown onboard the ER2 aircraft during the FIRE ACE field campaign.The First ISCCP Regional Experiments have been designed to improve data products and cloud/radiation parameterizations used in general circulation models (GCMs). Specifically, the goals of FIRE are (1) to improve basic understanding of the interaction of physical processes in determining life cycles of cirrus and marine stratocumulus systems and the radiative properties of these clouds during their life cycles and (2) to investigate the interrelationships between the ISCCP data, GCM parameterizations, and higher space and time resolution cloud data.

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the Convection and Moisture Experiments (CAMEX-1) conducted at Wallops Island, VA. AMPR data were collected at a combination of frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) during the time period of September 26 - October 5, 1993. The geographic domain of the CAMEX region was between 25.5N - 43N latitude and 70W - 83W longitude.
