Prototype of NASA's global precipitation measurement mission ground validation system
NASA is developing a Ground Validation System (GVS) as one of its contributions to the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM). The GPM GVS provides an independent means for evaluation, diagnosis, and ultimately improvement of GPM spaceborne measurements and precipitation products. NASA's GPM GVS consists of three elements: field campaignslphysical validation, direct network validation, and modeling...
متن کاملThe NASA Dual-Frequency Dual-Polarized Doppler Radar (D3R) System For GPM Ground Validation
Following on the successful introduction of single-frequency (Ku-Band) weather radar onboard the Tropical Rain Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite in 1997, the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission attempts to advance further the goal of making global scale precipitation observations by deploying the next generation of satellite-borne weather radars. The GPM satellite will carry a Ka-Ku...
متن کاملP7.3 an Enhanced Global Precipitation Measurement (gpm) Validation Network Prototype
A Validation Network (VN) prototype is currently underway that compares data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite Precipitation Radar (PR) to similar measurements from U.S. and international operational weather radars. This prototype is a major component of the Ground Validation System (GVS) activities supporting the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The p...
متن کاملMicrowave radar signatures of precipitation from S band to Ka band: application to GPM mission
Radars at different frequencies have been used over five decades for observing precipitation. S and C bands have been employed for long range coverage observations. Dual-polarization X-band radars have been shown to be useful for networked applications. Space borne precipitation radars have been at Ku band, or higher frequencies such as Ka, as in the GPM mission. This paper presents a comprehen...
متن کاملارزیابی دادههای بارش زمینی، ماهواره GPM و MERRA (مطالعه موردی: حوضه آبریز کشف رود)
In recent decades, satellite and model- based precipitation products has attracted attention of the scientists and researchers in hydrology and other disciplines. The purpose of this research is quantitative comparison of MERRA and GPM satellite precipitation products with ground station precipitation values as reference data in Kashafrud basin. The important point about these data is their ...
