| The purpose of this workshop is to continue
the discussion on the possibility of utilizing the global precipitation
data acquired by the satellite observations in Asia as a follow up
to the 2nd International GPM Workshop held in Tokyo May 2002. The Tropical
Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Satellite has been acquiring such
data for more than 6 years. Based on the experience of TRMM, a follow-on
mission called Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) has been planned.
In this mission, global precipitation data will be collected more frequently
and delivered to the users in near-real time. |
| |
| In this workshop, we will: |
| |
(1) |
overview the achievement of TRMM and
discuss possibility of utilizing TRMM data in water cycle and climate
research; and |
| |
(2) |
discuss possible operational uses of
future satellite precipitation data in GPM era in Asia. |
