Iowa City, IA Gauge Cluster Site
Since 2002, the Department of Meteorology at the University of Maryland has been developing a prototype rain gauge-based ground validation site for level 2 (instantaneous) satellite rainfall products. This site consists of a 5 x 5 network of gauge sites, centered on the Iowa City, IA, airport. The sites are spaced on a 5-km square grid, which is approximately the size and spacing of the 89-GHz AMSR-E footprints for the rainfall estimates. The University of Iowa is providing a support infrastructure for this site, and IIHR-Hydroscience and Engineering (formerly the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research) staff and students maintain the site.
For more information, please visit the AMSR-E Raingauge Network Iowa City Iowa Web site.
