Candace: The Dual Precipitation Radar, or DPR, has two parts:

00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:24,680
the first is the KaPR and the second is the

22
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:28,710
KuPR, those are two different bands. And it

23
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:32,740
provides simultaneous measurements in both of the bands,

24
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,750
and it can be used to make combined products together with

25
00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:40,770
the GMI that allow the scientists to determine a lot more
