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.

Successes with the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission [PDF]

2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
Water is essential to our planet Earth. Knowing when, where and how precipitation falls is crucial for understanding the linkages between the Earth's water and energy cycles and is extraordinarily important for sustaining life on our planet during climate change.

Wind Speed Retrieval Using Global Precipitation Measurement Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar Ka-Band Data at Low Incidence Angles

Remote Sensing, 2022
In this study, sea surface wind speed was retrieved using the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) dual-frequency precipitation radar (DPR) Ka-band data. In order to establish the Ka-band model at low incidence angles, the dependence of the DPR Ka-band

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

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)
