The Basic Performance of a Precipitation Retrieval Algorithm for the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission's Single/Dual-Frequency Radar Measurements [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2013
A precipitation retrieval algorithm is proposed for the dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) on the core satellite of the Global Precipitation Measurement mission. The proposed algorithm is called the HB-DFR algorithm, in reference to the combination of Histchfeld-Bordan's attenuation correction method (HB method) and the dual-frequency ratio (DFR)

THE GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MEASUREMENT (GPM) MISSION FOR SCIENCE AND SOCIETY. [PDF]

Bull Am Meteorol Soc, 2017
Abstract Precipitation is a key source of freshwater; therefore, observing global patterns of precipitation and its intensity is important for science, society, and understanding our planet in a changing climate. In 2014, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched ...

Global precipitation measurement [PDF]

Meteorological Applications, 2011
AbstractThe quantification of precipitation on a global scale is critical for applications ranging from climate monitoring to water resource management. Conventional observations through surface gauge networks provide the most direct measure of precipitation, although these are very much limited to land areas, with very few in situ measurements over ...

Impacts of Reference Precipitation on the Assessment of Global Precipitation Measurement Precipitation Products

Remote Sensing
Reference precipitation (RP) serves as a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of precipitation products; thus, the selection of RP considerably affects the evaluation.

Calibration of the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar Onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2022
This article describes four-year calibration results of the dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory. The calibration method basically follows the method that was used to calibrate the precipitation radar (PR) onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite.

The State of Precipitation Measurements at Mid-to-High Latitudes

Atmosphere, 2023
The measurement of global precipitation is important for quantifying and understanding the Earth’s systems. While gauges form the basis of conventional measurements, global measurements are only truly possible using satellite observations.

Planning for Global Precipitation Measurement [PDF]

IGARSS 2001. Scanning the Present and Resolving the Future. Proceedings. IEEE 2001 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Cat. No.01CH37217), 2002
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) has demonstrated the importance of rain measurements for both the science and the meteorological communities. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has established a Pre-Formulation Office to initiate the planning for Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), a follow-on to TRMM.
