The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission for Science and Society
Gail Skofronick-Jackson,Walter A. Petersen,Wesley Berg,Chris Kidd,Erich Franz Stocker,Dalia Kirschbaum,Ramesh K. Kakar,Scott A. Braun,George J. Huffman,Toshio Iguchi,Pierre Kirstetter,Christian D. Kummerow,Robert Meneghini,Riko Oki,William S. Olson,Yukari N. Takayabu,Kinji Furukawa,Thomas T. Wilheit +17 more
TL;DR: The GPM mission collects essential rain and snow data for scientific studies and societal benefit and aims to provide real-time information about rainfall and snowfall to improve understanding of climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
So, How Much of the Earth's Surface Is Covered by Rain Gauges?
Chris Kidd,Andreas Becker,George J. Huffman,Catherine L. Muller,Paul Joe,Gail Skofronick-Jackson,Dalia Kirschbaum +6 more
TL;DR: The measurement of global precipitation, both rainfall and snowfall, is critical to a wide range of users and applications and the number of gauges available, or appropriate for a particular study, varies greatly across the Earth due to temporal sampling resolutions, periods of operation, data latency and data access.
So, how much of the Earth's surface is covered by rain gauges?
Chris Kidd,George J. Huffman,Dalia Kirschbaum,Gail Skofronick-Jackson,Paul Joe,Catherine L. Muller +5 more
TL;DR: The number of available rain gauges varies greatly across the Earth due to temporal sampling resolutions, periods of operation, data latency and data access as discussed by the authors, and the distribution of the available data across the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI): Instrument Overview and Early On-Orbit Performance
TL;DR: An overview of the GMI instrument and a report of early on-orbit commissioning activities are provided, which discusses the on- orbit radiometric sensitivity, absolute calibration accuracy, and stability for each radiometric channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced Concepts on Remote Sensing of Precipitation at Multiple Scales
Soroosh Sorooshian,Amir AghaKouchak,Phillip A. Arkin,John Eylander,Efi Foufoula-Georgiou,Russell S. Harmon,Jan M. H. Hendrickx,Bisher Imam,Robert J. Kuligowski,Brian E. Skahill,Gail Skofronick-Jackson +10 more
TL;DR: Sorooshian et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a list of research priori-ties and recommendations in the field of remote sensing of precipitation at multichannel scales, and data fusion can be optimized for different situations.
