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.

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.

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.

Evaluation of the Integrated Multi-SatellitE Retrievals for the Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) Product in the São Francisco Basin (Brazil) [PDF]
Water, 2021 The São Francisco River basin is one of the largest in the Brazilian territory. This basin has enormous economic, social and cultural importance for the country. Its water is used for human and animal supply, irrigation and energy production. This basin is located in an area with different climatic characteristics (humid and semiarid) and studies ...

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.

A global map of uncertainties in satellite‐based precipitation measurements
Geophysical Research Letters, 2010 A global map of measurement uncertainties in satellite‐based precipitation estimates has been produced by computing the variance from an ensemble of six different TRMM‐era data sets at daily, 0.25° resolution. This analysis yields a lower‐bound estimate of the uncertainties, and a consistent global view of the error characteristics and their regional ...
