Sparse gauge network and heterogeneous terrains pose great challenges for conducting accurate short-range quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE). This research combines the quality-controlled gauge network with the short-range quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) to provide the QPE in the mountainous Southwest. A Space and Time Mesoscal...
EVALUATION OF BALLOON TRAJECTORY FORECAST ROUTINES FOR GAINS
The Global Air-ocean IN-situ System (GAINS) is a global observing system designed to augment current environmental observing and monitoring networks. GAINS is a network of long-duration, stratospheric platforms that carry onboard sensors and hundreds of dropsondes to acquire meteorological, air chemistry, and climate data over oceans and in remo...

GAINS - A global observing system
The Global Atmosphere-ocean IN-situ observing System (GAINS) is a program to develop the systems needed for an operational, global, in-situ observing system. Observations taken from the GAINS platforms will complement existing operational systems by filling in holes over oceans, and by delivering observations that are finer temporal and spatial...
