This summer, I had the pleasure to work with scientists from NASA on the data collected from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) ground validation campaign at UConn that occurred over the last two winters (in collaboration with the IMPACTS field campaign). We focused on final data preparation for the observations, and I specifically began thinking about how to combine the ground observations with data from the GPM’s core observatory for a March 4, 2023 event where an intense snowband passed over the observing sites about 10 minutes before the coinciding GPM overpass. In addition to this work, I am the lead author on a Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) article that is currently being written. Overall, this summer was a great learning experience, and I am looking forward to collaborating more with this group of people as we head into the fall semester!
