GPM Data Help Improve Hurricane Forecast Track
The GPM mission is now well into its second year and data are flowing in from the Core Observatory and the nine constellation members. In the September-October 2015 issue of The Earth Observer we report on the second GPM Applications Workshop. This meeting was an opportunity to formally introduce the capabilities of GPM to the user community and provide overviews of how GPM data products are being used in a broad range of applications—including an example of how a hurricane forecast track is improved when GPM data are assimilated vs. when GPM data are not used.
