Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM)

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is a satellite mission that provides accurate, near real-time data on rainfall and snowfall around the world. Using advanced sensors and measurements, GPM helps scientists understand weather patterns, climate change, and water resources. It builds on previous satellite systems to improve the accuracy and coverage of precipitation data, covering even remote areas. This information supports weather forecasts, disaster response, agriculture, and water management, ultimately helping us better understand and respond to the Earth's changing climate and weather events.
