Popis: As part of the NASA tropical rainfall measuring mission ground validation (TRMM-GV) program, a field campaign was conducted in Florida Keys during August-September 2002. The purpose of the field campaign was to study the characteristics of rainfall over the Florida Keys, utilizing Key West WSR-88D, NASA's s-band polarimetric radar (NPOL), and a network of rain gauges and disdrometers. This study focuses on the performance of the rain gauges and disdrometers and its impact on the radar rainfall algorithms.
