Title of talk: Overview of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Mission

Abstract: The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is an international collaboration to achieve highly accurate and highly frequent global precipitation observations.

The GPM mission consists of the GPM Core Observatory jointly developed by U.S. and Japan

and Constellation Satellites that carry microwave radiometers and provided by the GPM partner agencies. The GPM Core Observatory, launched on February 2014, carries the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). JAXA also develops the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP), to distribute hourly and 0.1-degree horizontal resolution rainfall map through the “JAXA Global Rainfall Watch” website (https://sharaku.eorc.jaxa.jp/GSMaP/index.htm). This lecture summarizes the achievement of the GPM mission in Japan.
