Science issue: Determine how the characteristics of global precipitation are changing in terms of means, variations and extremes.

Approach:Analyze the GPCP record along with other shorter, high quality data sets such as TRMM.

Satellite-based data: GPCP, TRMM radar and passive estimates, SSM/I, AMSR, TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) 3-hr data

Other data and models:Other water cycle/ reanalysis data sets

Study Period:1979-present for long-term studies; 1998-present (TRMM period) for focused comparisons and extremes

Project status:
