  1. Precipitation Observation from Space in the Next Generation: the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Tomomi Nio NASDA/EORC 16th APAN Meetings / Advanced Network Conference in Busan Aug. 27, 2003

  2. topics • Rain measurement • From TRMM to GPM • TRMM’s achivements • GPM objectives • Key of GPM • Data distributiontime delay • High performance network

  3. Water and Our life Typhoon ETAU (11W) • Water Problem • Water shortage • Flood  Food shortage, epidemic diseases, etc. Global warming, Climate change • Many Meetings • The 3rd World Water Forum • Earth Observation Summit The century of Water

  4. Rainfall Measurement • Rain affect most everyone’s life & work • Food production • Flood, drought • Rain is a key variable in • Weather prediction models • Climate models • Air-sea interaction models, etc. • Contribution by rainfall measuring satellites ; TRMM(Tropical Rainfall measuring Mission)

  5. TRMM’s Achievements • Demonstration of the world’s first space-borne precipitation radar technology • Scientific Achievements • Accurate observation of rain distribution in tropical and sub-tropical regions • Diurnal, annual, and long-term variations of precipitation • 3-dimensional rain structure (PR) • Accurate rain observation over ocean and land in equal quality (PR) • Improvement in weather forecasting with 4-D data assimilation • Sea Surface Temperature (SST) estimation under clouds • Estimation of soil moisture (PR) • Successful cooperation between US and Japan • Efficient Data Utilization

  6. Efficient data use • 1. Near real-rime data distribution • NASA-NASDA Back bone Network • Asia Pacific Advanced Network • 2. Software distribution

  7. Back born Network GSFC JPL 3Mb/s JMA 3Mb/s Earth Observation Center ATM Dedicated line Earth Observation Research Center 6Mb/s NASA EBnet

  8. APAN GSFC MAFFIN TRMM data EORC APAN USER USER Rainfall product USER APAN is enough performance for sharing TRMM data in real-time.

  9. Application • Toolkit (TISDIS toolkit) • capable writing HDF or binary • For expert, researcher • Viewer (Orbit viewer) • For expert, researcher, school • Typhoon Data Base • Tropical cyclones database observed by TRMM • For interest

  10. What’s Next? From TRMM to GPM

  11. GPM objective • Improve ongoing efforts to predict climate • by providing near-global measurement of precipitation • Improve the accuracy of weather and precipitation forecasts • through more accurate measurement of rain rates and latent heating. • Provide more frequent and complete sampling of the Earth's precipitation. • This will provide better prediction of flood hazards and management of life-sustaining activities dependent upon fresh water

  12. GPM Reference Concept OBJECTIVE: Understand the Horizontal and Vertical Structure of Rainfall and Its Microphysical Element. Provide Training for Constellation Radiometers. OBJECTIVE: Provide Enough Sampling to Reduce Uncertainty in Short-term Rainfall Accumulations. Extend Scientific and Societal Applications. • Core Satellite • Dual Frequency Radar • Multi-frequency Radiometer • H2-A Launch • TRMM-like Spacecraft • Non-Sun Synchronous Orbit • ~70° Inclination • ~400 - 500 km Altitude • ~4 km Horizontal Resolution • 250 m Vertical Resolution • Constellation Satellites • Small Satellites with Microwave Radiometers • Aggregate Revisit Time, • 3 Hour goal • Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbits • ~600 km Altitude • Global Precipitation Processing Center • Capable of Producing Global Precip Data Products as Defined by GPM Partners • Precipitation Validation Sites • Global Ground Based Rain Measurement

  13. A Rolling Wave View for GPM

  14. Observation by a fleet of satellites with microwave radiometer １ Observation area with MWRs in 3 hours (1, 2, 4 and 8 satellites from top to bottom) ２ Coverages byTRMM PRandGPM DPRin a day ４ ８

  15. 3-hour Global Coverage • The observation area covered in 3 hours by Single satellite Two Constellation Four Constellation Eight Constellation satellites • Issue; • Can we use all of those data in target term; 3 hours?

  16. To get 3hr Rain map… • One of GPM Objectives is to provide morefrequent and complete sampling of the Earth’s precipitation. • Let’s gather and distribute Microwave Radiometer (MWR) L1B data! • Those exchanging should be • Quickly • Frequently • Easily

  17. Key of quick distribution • It is requested to reduce time delay in order to maximize the use of MWR L1B data. There are three elements below; • Data acquisition time delay • Data processing time delay • Data transmission time delay

  18. Key of Data Exchange • Issues for quick, frequent and easy data distribution; • High performance network • Stable • Fast • Easy Access • Data handling Software • Easy equipment • Standard technology

  19. NASDA status • Phase : Conceptual Study • NASDA will start the data processing system and EO information and management system (GPM/EOIS), which should be FLEXIBLE systems. • Not decided the policies yet; • data exchange, data openness • definition of standard product • International WG for data exchange : GDaWG • To Discuss • Content, Metadata, • Network • Exchange mechanisms, format handling (like based on XML) • Standard information technology • Proposing to algorithm developers, program makers, and so on.

  22. Summary • GPM important key is Data Utilization • Important : data exchange • High performance network <Fast> <stable> • To collect high-frequent observation data immediately • To distribute them for users • Easy Utilization <Standard> <GIS> • To standardize for handling MWRs data which have different characteristics for their data mapping and their statistics. • To use for many kind of people
