  1. 2013 PMRF Data Collection Campaign • 22 May 2013 through 17 June 2013. • The Aerospace Corporation lidar / radiosonde facility housed at PMRF Barking Sands, HI • Data collected coincident with SNPP and DMSP F-18 overpasses. • Data collections targeted for 39 SNPP overpasses • Currently have data for 32 SNPP overpasses • Hope to recover data for 5 additional overpasses off failed hard drive. • Lidar data collected with most overpasses near 12 UTC. • Some radiometer data (RPG Hatpro) collected after 2013-06-06

  4. 2013 PMRF Data Processing • Decide if RS92 temperature bias warrants reprocessing. • Transfer early-release RS92 data to the STAR cal/val team. • Process lidar data and generate “best estimate” combined profiles. • Temperature: RS92 0 - 30 km, lidar 30-60 km • Humidity: RS92 0 - 3 km, lidar 3 - 20 km • Process lidar returns to add auxiliary data • Time-evolution of humidity profiles • Cloud bottom and top elevations • Add new data to 2012 comparisons with Lihue synoptic radiosonde data. • Provide access to final-release QAedRS92 and lidardata to cal/valteam.
