Global Precipitation Measurement Mission
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission was developed to help scientists measure and understand the amount of rain and snow falling globally.
Accurate global precipitation data is essential for analyzing weather and climate impacts on Earth's environment, water and energy cycles, fresh water availability, agriculture, and natural disaster response. Precipitation connects all four of Earth's primary spheres: the hydrosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
