Impact of Microwave Sounder Calibration on Precipitation for the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission [PDF]

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
Cross-track microwave sounders make up a significant percentage of the radiometers included in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) constellation. Therefore, it is important to properly assess the calibration of each sounder instrument and to understand the impact of the calibration on the derived precipitation rates.

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
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.

Validation and error characterization for the Global Precipitation Measurement

IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004
In this paper, we have dealt with the validation and error characterization for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) research initiative. The GPM is a three-year on-orbit duration program with a five-year duration goal. The Core satellite launch is scheduled tentatively for Fall 2008.

Formulating global precipitation measurement (GPM)

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
Understanding the Earth's climate and how it responds to climate perturbations relies on knowledge of how atmospheric moisture, clouds, latent heating, and the large-scale circulation vary with changing climate conditions. The physical process that links these key climate elements is precipitation.
