The Campaign
The Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) occurred in the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. This campaign used airborne and ground-based platforms to gather precipitation observations for comparison to and validation of satellite data. In addition, science objectives included evaluating the topographic influences on the region's precipitation. OLYMPEX supported the Ground Validation (GV) effort for NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) and Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM).
