Expectations from GPM for NWP Purpose • Analysis and Forecast • GPM is expected to contribute on accurate global rain, moisture, cloud and surface analysis with its huge amount of observations and • On frequent watch of severe weather systems including tropical cyclones and their accurate analyses. • Good global analysis will lead good long-term forecast. • Good global analysis and forecast will lead good regional analysis and forecast. • NWP model development • GPM is expected to contribute on not only producing climatic information but also the developments of NWP cloud, rain and snow fall schemes.
