Title: A Comprehensive Northern Hemisphere Particle Microphysics Dataset from the Precipitation Imaging Package Open Access Deposited

Methodology
  • We have collected PIP microphysical data from a variety of measurement locations across the northern hemisphere. Data originally in a proprietary ASCII format has been converted to the more universally recognized NetCDF-4 format for ease of sharing and compatibility within the academic community. The conversion process, undertaken using a combination of bash and Python, ensures broader compatibility with various data analysis tools and platforms. A quality assurance (QA) procedure has been undertaken to ensure the integrity of the data. Post QA, the data is transformed into daily NetCDF-4 files following the Climate and Forecast (CF) conventions (version 1.10) and compressed with a level 2 deflation for optimized file size. Additional details into the data curation process can be found in our journal article publication.
Description
  • Microphysical observations of precipitating particles are crucial for numerical weather prediction models and remote sensing retrieval algorithms. This dataset provides a unified, comprehensive collection of particle microphysical observations from the Precipitation Imaging Package (PIP) over the Northern Hemisphere. Data spans from 2014-2023 across 10 measurement sites and encompasses over 775 thousand precipitating minutes. Within this dataset, users will find a range of microphysical attributes for rain and snow, along with higher-order products.
