Results also indicate GPM algorithms overestimate light rain (<1.0 mm h1). Two very different stratiform rain vertical profiles show differing results when compared to ground reference data. A key finding of this study indicates multisensor DPR/GMI combined algorithms outperform ...
Four products are available in GPMNRTView. Level 2A DPR is a narrow swath-based product that plots data points at storm top height, rather than on the surface, to provide a 3D representation of precipitation. Level 1C GMI is a wider swath-based product showing various brightness temperatures ...
The GPM core observatory's Microwave Imager (GMI) and Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) measured rainfall as it flew directly over Typhoon Halola in the western Pacific Ocean on July 23, 2015 at 1414 UTC (10:14 a.m. EDT). The southeastern side of the typhoon had the highest rainf...
On Sept. 12 at 0206 UTC, GPM DPR data indicated rain was falling at a rate of over 299 mm (11.8 inches) per hour in powerful storms in the northeastern side of Meranti's eye wall. Credit: NASA/JAXA, Hal Pierce Satellite data from NASA revealed that powerful storms in Super Typhoon Me...
GPM's instruments including the Microwave Imager (GMI) and the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) revealed that the powerful storms south of Kenanga's center are still producing veryheavy rainfallat the rate of 214 mm (8.4 inches) per hour in that area. The rainfall in the northern hal...
When GPM passed directly over the center of the MCS that was moving across Oklahoma, it found that the MCS contained some intense storms. GPM's DPR can make accurate rainfall measurements along its 151.9 mile (245km) swath and measure storms to heights of 11.8 miles (19km). GPM's DPR ...
The GPM satellite passed directly above a line of tornado-generating thunderstorms moving across the Midwest on 23rd December at 22:32 UTC. GPM’s Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) and Microwave Imager (GMI) instruments had an excellent view of the extreme weather occurring close to the ...
The GPM Microwave Imager, or GMI, will measure total precipitation, including light rain and snowfall, while the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar, or DPR, will give researchers a three-dimensional look at the structures inside clouds that generate rain and snow. ...
(from Japan), who are devoted to the exploration of the great dark void that surrounds our planet. They’re also great partners, often working together to bring missions to fruition, like the GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) mission, for which JAXA developed something called the DPR (...
GPM's DPR revealed that extremely heavy rainfall was located in the southeastern side of the typhoon's eye wall. Powerful storms there were dropping rain at a rate of greater than 227 mm (8.9 inches) per hour. GPM's GMI additionally showed that typhoon Lan was producing heavy rain over a...
