Short summary
A GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) Ground Validation field campaign in Connecticut collected high-resolution microphysical and radar observations of winter precipitation. This field campaign was unique because there was a wide-ranging suite of instruments capable of observing all phases of precipitation co-located with comparable measurements. The observations provide an opportunity to verify and understand complex winter precipitation events through satellite data, microphysical processes, and numerical model simulations.
