Read moreNASA’s newest satellite ushers in the future of tracking global precipitation. Learn more about the GPM Core Observatory in this video. The GPM Core Observatory observes rain and snow using an advanced radiometer and dual-frequency precipitation radar. The satellite's instruments scan Earth's atmosphere, collecting a continuous swath of data. Precipitation measurements collected by a network of satellites will be combined to create a global picture of rain and snow fall.
