Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM): Unified Precipitation Estimation from Space [PDF]
, 2018 Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international satellite mission that uses measurements from an advanced radar/radiometer system on a Core Observatory as reference standards to unify and advance precipitation estimates through a constellation of research and operational microwave sensors. GPM is a science mission focusing on a key component

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.

The Global Precipitation Measurement Mission [PDF]
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2014 Precipitation affects many aspects of our everyday life. It is the primary source of freshwater and has significant socioeconomic impacts resulting from natural hazards such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and landslides. Fundamentally, precipitation is a critical component of the global water and energy cycle that governs the weather, climate, and ...
