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.

Propulsion Options for the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Satellite [PDF]

39th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 2003
This study was conducted to evaluate several propulsion system options for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) core satellite. Orbital simulations showed clear benefits for the scientific data to be obtained at a constant orbital altitude rather than with a decay/reboost approach.

The EarthCARE Satellite: The Next Step Forward in Global Measurements of Clouds, Aerosols, Precipitation, and Radiation [PDF]

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2015
Abstract The collective representation within global models of aerosol, cloud, precipitation, and their radiative properties remains unsatisfactory. They constitute the largest source of uncertainty in predictions of climatic change and hamper the ability of numerical weather prediction models to forecast high-impact weather events.

Satellite Estimation of Falling Snow: A Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory Perspective [PDF]

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2019
AbstractRetrievals of falling snow from space-based observations represent key inputs for understanding and linking Earth’s atmospheric, hydrological, and energy cycles. This work quantifies and investigates causes of differences among the first stable falling snow retrieval products from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory ...

Effect of precipitation sampling error on simulated hydrological fluxes and states: Anticipating the Global Precipitation Measurement satellites [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2004
Precipitation is the single most important determinant of the fluxes and states of the land surface hydrological system and the most important atmospheric input to hydrological models. Satellite‐based precipitation estimates, such as those anticipated from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellites, hold great promise for application in ...
