H11O:
Global Precipitation Measurement, Validation, and Applications I


Session ID#: 10520

Session Description:
Measurements of global precipitation are necessary for monitoring earth’s water resources and the global hydrologic cycle, understanding climate variability, and improving weather prediction. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission, launched in Feb 2014, is designed to provide the next-generation of unified global precipitation products with accuracies and data latencies essential for research and integrated hydrometeorological applications, along with decades of hierarchy of satellite rain measurements. This session invites contributions in ALL areas of precipitation science including retrieval algorithms, ground validation, intersensor calibration and data fusion, and data utilization in hydrologic, weather, climate, and related societal applications.
