first global map of rainfall and snowfall. The GPM Core Observatory launched one year ago on Feb. 27, 2014 as a collaboration between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and acts as the standard to unify precipitation measurements from a network of 12 satellites. The result is NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM data product, called IMERG, which combines data from all 12 satellites into a single, seamless map. The map covers more of the globe than any previous precipitation data set and is updated every half hour, allowing scientists to see how rain and snow storms move around nearly the entire planet. As scientists work to understand all the elements of Earth's climate and weather systems, and how they could change in the future, GPM provides a major step forward in providing the scientific community comprehensive and consistent measurements of precipitation.", "items": [], "extra_data": {} }, { "id": 338430, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4257/#media_group_338430", "widget": "Single image", "title": "", "caption": "", "description": "Color bar for liquid precipitation rates (ie, rain rates).

The GPM Core Observatory is the first satellite designed to measure falling snow, shown here during the Nor’easter in January, 2015.\rTAG: This new data will help improve weather and climate forecasts.\r", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 11757, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11757/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Seeing Beneath Earth’s Clouds", "description": "This is what falling rain and snow look like from space. || cf-1920.jpg (1920x1080) [705.2 KB] || cf-1280.jpg (1280x720) [407.8 KB] || cf-1024.jpg (1024x576) [288.4 KB] || cf-1024_print.jpg (1024x576) [278.2 KB] || cf-1024_searchweb.png (320x180) [110.8 KB] || cf-1024_print_thm.png (80x40) [29.9 KB] || ", "release_date": "2015-03-19T11:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:49:51.857224-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 444732, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011700/a011757/cf-1024_print.jpg", "filename": "cf-1024_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "This is what falling rain and snow look like from space.", "width": 1024, "height": 576, "pixels": 589824 } }, { "id": 11789, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11789/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Instagram: NASA's First Global Rainfall And Snowfall Map", "description": "Global Precipitation Measurement mission has produced its first global map of rainfall and snowfall.Like a lead violin tuning an orchestra, the GPM Core Observatory – launched one year ago on Feb. 27, 2014 as a collaboration between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency – acts as the standard to unify precipitation measurements from a network of 12 satellites. The result is NASA's Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM data product, called IMERG, which combines all of these data from 12 satellites into a single, seamless map.This first IMERG data set spans the initial months of GPM data collection from April to September, 2014. The precipitation data collected covers the 87 percent of the globe that falls between 60 degrees north and 60 degrees south latitude, updated every half hour.The map covers more of the globe than any previous NASA precipitation data set, allowing scientists to see how rain and snowstorms move around nearly the entire planet. As scientists work to understand all the elements of Earth’s climate and weather systems, and how they could change in the future, GPM provides a major step forward in providing the scientific community comprehensive and consistent measurements of precipitation. || ", "release_date": "2015-02-26T13:45:00-05:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:49:55.934477-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 445639, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011700/a011789/IMERG_INST1_print.jpg", "filename": "IMERG_INST1_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "For complete transcript, click here.", "width": 1024, "height": 1024, "pixels": 1048576 } }, { "id": 11784, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11784/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "GPM Yields IMERG", "description": "GPM Project Scientist Dr. Gail Skofronick-Jackson and Deputy Project Scientist Dr. George Huffman narrate a look at the new GPM IMERG global dataset.Complete transcript in Brazilian Portuguese available. || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_youtube_hq.00152_print.jpg (1024x576) [181.2 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_youtube_hq_print.jpg (1024x576) [195.5 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_youtube_hq_thm.png (80x40) [7.4 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_youtube_hq_web.png (320x180) [95.0 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_youtube_hq_searchweb.png (320x180) [95.0 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_appletv_subtitles.m4v (960x540) [55.3 MB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_1280x720.wmv (1280x720) [67.0 MB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_appletv.m4v (960x540) [55.3 MB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_youtube_hq.mov (1920x1080) [585.8 MB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_720x480.wmv (720x480) [67.1 MB] || 11784_IMERG.pt_BR.vtt [2.9 KB] || 11784_IMERG.pt_BR.srt [3.1 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_nasaportal.mov (640x360) [55.6 MB] || GPMIMERG.en_US.srt [2.4 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_ipod_lg.m4v (640x360) [21.9 MB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_720x480.webm (720x480) [14.8 MB] || GPMIMERG.en_US.vtt [2.4 KB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2-H264_Best_1920x1080_2997.mov (1920x1080) [1.6 GB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_prores.mov (1920x1080) [2.0 GB] || IMERG_Final_Cut_v2_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [11.9 MB] || ", "release_date": "2015-02-26T13:30:00-05:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:49:56.235071-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 446059, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011700/a011784/GSFC_VF_IMERG_youtube_hq_print.jpg", "filename": "GSFC_VF_IMERG_youtube_hq_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Video file for the IMERG release.

A Global Tour of Precipitation from NASA shows how rain and snowfall moves around the world from the vantage of space using measurements from the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory, or GPM. This is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and offers the most detailed and worldwide view of rain and snowfall ever created.This narrated movie is created for Science On a Sphere, a platform designed by NOAA that displays movies on a spherical screen. Audiences can view the movie from any side of the sphere and can see any part of Earth. During this show viewers will be guided through a variety of precipitation patterns and display features such as the persistent band of the heaviest rainfall around the equator and tight swirls of tropical storms in the Northern Hemisphere. At subtropical latitudes in both hemispheres there are persistent dry areas and this is where most of the major deserts reside. Sea surface temperature and winds are also shown to highlight the interconnectedness of the Earth system. The movie concludes with near real-time global precipitation data from GPM, which is provided to Science On a Sphere roughly six hours after the observation.To download this movie formatted for a spherical screen, visit NOAA's official Science On a Sphere website below:‌• A Global Tour of Precipitation from NASA‌• Near Real-Time Global Precipitation Data || ", "release_date": "2016-05-16T11:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2019-06-18T18:30:50-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 424331, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a012100/a012126/YOUTUBE_HQ-12126_2DSOS_IMERG-MERRA-SST-Snippet_youtube_hq.00001_print.jpg", "filename": "YOUTUBE_HQ-12126_2DSOS_IMERG-MERRA-SST-Snippet_youtube_hq.00001_print.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "This visualization combines MUR Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data with GPM's IMERG precipitation data and MERRA winds.
