The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory, a joint mission by NASA and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), provides the most detailed worldwide view of rain and snowfall. This satellite-based data is crucial for understanding Earth's freshwater systems.

GPM tracks precipitation from space, offering vital information on where, when, and how much it rains and snows globally. This insight is fundamental for studying our weather, climate, and ecological systems.
