The Campaign
The Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) was a NASA field investigation focused on gathering airborne and ground measurements to verify precipitation satellite observations. OLYMPEX included one deployment from November to December 2015 on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Multiple aircraft, including the NASA DC-8 and ER-2, collected data on precipitation and cloud properties. Ground-based and balloon-borne observations were also conducted. OLYMPEX supported the Ground Validation (GV) effort for NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) and Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM).
