Description
This dataset contains ground-based meteorological observations and accompanying atmospheric river data used in "The influence of atmospheric rivers on cold-season precipitation in the Upper Great Lakes region", Mateling, Pettersen, Kulie, Mattingly, Henderson, and L'Ecuyer, submitted to GRL, in review.
The ground-based data contains meteorological data including temperature, wind speed and direction, radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity from a Micro-Rain Radar2 (MRR) and precipitation data from a Precipitation Imaging Package (PIP) hosted at the National Weather Service in Marquette, Michigan (Pettersen, Kulie, et al., 2020; Pettersen, Bliven, et al., 2020; Kulie et al., 2021).
The atmospheric river (AR) data contains a flag to identify when an AR is within 100 km of Marquette during a deep cold-season precipitation event. Additionally, the associated integrated water vapor transport (IVT) and motion vectors are within this file. The AR database was created and analyzed in Mattingly et al. (2018).
