Global precipitation measurement (GPM)

SPIE Proceedings, 2001
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is studying options for future space-based missions for the EOS Follow-on Era (post 2003), building upon the measurements made by Pre-EOS and EOS First Series Missions. One mission under consideration is the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), a cooperative venture of NASA, Japan, and other ...

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.

Requirements for Global Precipitation Measurement

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
The measurement of precipitation on a global basis has many scientific and societal benefits. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA's) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), developed in cooperation with the National Space Development Agency (NASDA) of Japan, was launched in 1997, and is widely viewed as a highly successful ...

Enabling global precipitation measurement (GPM)

SPIE Proceedings, 2003
Of all the water on the Earth, only 3% is drinkable and two thirds of that water is locked away in polar ice. Precipitation constantly renews our fresh water resources and the latent heat it releases is the principal source of energy that drives atmospheric circulation and weather disturbances.

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.
