NEW YORK: The National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) urges “citizen scientists” to participate in highly-ambitious Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission.
GPM was launched by NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency around a year ago to remotely estimate precipitation rates using a cluster of satellites. The system looks at frequencies and wavelengths that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
At least 12 satellites are involved in the system, which provide an unprecedented view of precipitation across the globe in near real time.
