NASA | The Data Downpour

The video explains the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which collects global precipitation data using a network of satellites. The data is transmitted to ground stations and processed to create useful precipitation products. The GPM mission involves a constellation of international satellites, each contributing data to develop global precipitation products. The video uses a soup-making analogy to describe the data processing steps and highlights the societal applications of the data, such as weather prediction and climate research. Future improvements aim to enhance data retrieval accuracy.
