Lessons Learned during Thermal Hardware Integration on the Global Precipitation Measurement Satellite [PDF]

42nd International Conference on Environmental Systems, 2012
The Global Precipitation Measurement mission is a joint NASA/JAXA mission scheduled for launch in late 2013. The integration of thermal hardware onto the satellite began in the Fall of 2010 and will continue through the Summer of 2012. The thermal hardware on the mission included several constant conductance heat pipes, heaters, thermostats ...

Unsupervised domain adaptation for Global Precipitation Measurement satellite constellation using Cycle Generative Adversarial Nets

Environmental Data Science, 2022
AbstractArtificial intelligence has provided many breakthroughs in the field of computer vision. The fully convolutional networks U-Net in particular have provided very promising results in the problem of retrieving rain rates from space-borne observations, a challenge that has persisted over the past few decades.

A Comprehensive Validation of Global Precipitation Measurement Satellite Products Over a Western Mediterranean Region

[eng] Precipitation estimation is essential for understanding atmospheric processes, water resource management, and climate modeling. Advances in remote sensing, particularly the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, have improved global precipitation coverage, especially in regions where traditional methods are insufficient. Since its launch

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 ...

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.

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 ...

A Global ETCCDI-Based Precipitation Climatology from Satellite and Rain Gauge Measurements [PDF]

Climate, 2017
Precipitation is still one of the most complex climate variables to observe, to understand, and to handle within climate monitoring and climate analysis as well as to simulate in numerical weather prediction and climate models. Especially over ocean, less is known about precipitation than over land due to the sparsity of in situ observations.
