Portable In Situ Precipitation Stations (PIPS) Data

Particle size distribution and surface meteorological data from the six Portable In Situ Precipitation Stations (PIPS) that was deployed at locations throughout the central United States for the ICECHIP (In-situ Collaborative Experiment for the Collection of Hail In the Plains) campaign Intensive Observing Periods (IOPs). Each PIPS has a Parsivel disdrometer as well as conventional surface meteorological instrumentation.
