GOSAT Status

• Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT)

• JAXA and National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) joint mission

• GOSAT data utilization Symposium was held in Tokyo April 24th 2004.

• Launch: 2007-2008

GPM Mission

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

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.

Global Precipitation Processing Center

• Capable of Producing Global Precip Data Products as Defined by GPM Partners

Precipitation Validation Sites • Global Ground Based Rain
