PPT Slide
- Measure a broader spectrum of precipitation (e.g. light rain, snow)
- Provide measurements in the tropics and mid-latitudes (e.g. global)
- Provide accurate and frequent global precipitation products from microwave instruments
- Further reduce uncertainty in precipitation microphysics and rainfall-radar reflectivity measurements
- Provide global precipitation measurements at temporal scales needed by weather, climate, and hydrological models
- Enable new societal applications in weather forecasting, flood prediction, freshwater resource management, public communications, and education
