Global Satellite Map** of Precipitation (GSMaP) Products in the GPM Era

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Satellite Precipitation Measurement

Part of the book series: Advances in Global Change Research ((AGLO,volume 67))

Abstract

As the Japanese Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) product, the Global Satellite Map** of Precipitation (GSMaP) has been provided by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to distribute hourly global precipitation map with 0.1° × 0.1° lat/lon grid. Since JAXA started near-real-time processing of the GSMaP on November 2007, there have been various significant improvements to the GSMaP. This paper summarizes GSMaP products and related algorithms in the GPM era and shows validation results in Japan and the United States.
