A Decade of Global Precipitation
Through rain and snow, hurricane, typhoon and monsoon, flash flood and bomb cyclone, for ten years, the joint NASA-JAXA Global Precipitation Measurement mission has measured a lot of water. Now in its tenth year of operation, we look at ten events brought to light by this groundbreaking mission.
NASA Tracks Freddy, Longest-lived Tropical Cyclone on Record
Tropical Cyclone Freddy lasted more than five weeks. Once a very powerful Category 5 cyclone, Freddy first made landfall along the east coast of Madagascar on February 21, 2023, just north of the town of Mananjary as a Category 3 cyclone.
IMPACTS 2022: NASA Planes Fly into Snowstorms to Study Snowfal
What NASA’s IMPACTS mission learns about snowstorms will improve meteorological models and our ability to use satellite data to predict how much snow will fall and where.
Clouds 101
Clouds can tell us a lot about what weather we might expect to see, but they’re actually quite mysterious. The question is: Because clouds are produced by the climate, how will a changing climate impact clouds? And, conversely, clouds have an impact on our climate, so how will changing clouds affect a changing climate? Welcome to Clouds 101.
Upgraded Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) datasets have been released as Version 3.3 at the Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC). These provide long-term precipitation data on a 0.5° global grid for both Monthly and Daily time intervals, covering 1983 and 1998 to the delayed present, respectively. The work is being carried out under a NASA Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) project.
