Eureka, CA NEXRAD/Gauge Site
A WSR-88D radar and a small rain gauge network in Eureka, CA, provide ground validation data for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Ground Validation Group. Data currently available include accumulation plots for gauge measurements. Gauges were installed August 24-28, 2000, in clusters of varying density, to determine a best estimate of "true" rain rate through measurement redundancy. The WSR-88D radar has a measurement range radius of 150-200 km. It measures instantaneous rain rate, stratiform/convective rain type, and five-day and monthly rain accumulation, in addition to radar reflectivity, with a 2 km resolution for most products.
