Cross-Validation of CSU-Chivo Radar and GPM During Relampago

This paper describes the deployment and features of CSU-CHIVO radar during the RELAMPAGO campaign in Argentina. Intercomparison with GPM-DPR is done using Volume Matching. Vertical profile analysis of storms is also shown and a list of GPM overpasses and summary of the tallest storms during the campaign are also included. The results show that CHIVO agree well with GPM in terms of reflectivity and microphysical structure of clouds and show the value of CHIVO for ground validation.
