Description

The GPM Ground Validation Total Sky Imager IPHEx dataset was gathered during the GPM Ground Validation Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) in North Carolina from May 9, 2014 through June 14, 2014. The dataset includes data from the total sky imager instrument which is part of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) ACHIEVE ground-based mobile laboratory. It is an automatic, full-color sky imager system providing real-time, full color digital images of daytime sky conditions. Data files are available in the JPEG image format.
