Description

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.
