Abstract

As the Japanese Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) product, the Global Satellite Mapping 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.
