GPM Satellite Simulator over Ground Validation Sites

[...]the WRF core features multiple nested do- mains to downscale synoptic-scale analyses (50--100 km) to resolve storm-scale dynamics (1-km horizon- tal grid spacing and 60 vertical layers). [...]mesoscale and synoptic-scale propagating precipita- tion systems, such as midlatitude convective systems, frontal systems, and high-latitude snow systems, can be simulated in addition to tropical precipitation. [...]the satellite sensor--observable signals and algorithm- retrievable geophysical parameters are sampled in identical footprints within the same dataset, allowing algorithm scientists to quickly assess their retrieval algorithm products.
