GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) Mission

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission is a collaborative satellite program that measures rainfall and snowfall around the world. Launched in 2014, GPM uses advanced radar and microwave instruments to provide precise data on precipitation patterns. This information helps scientists understand weather, climate change, and water resources. By collecting consistent, global precipitation data, GPM supports disaster management, helps improve weather forecasting, and enhances our ability to respond to natural disasters like floods and droughts. The mission is vital for managing water supply and understanding the Earth's climate system.
