NASA | Scanning a Snow Storm

The video discusses a rare late-season East Coast snowstorm observed by the GPM satellite shortly after its launch in 2014. It highlights GPM's ability to measure various types of precipitation, including light rain, heavy rain, and snow. The video explains how GPM provides valuable data on cloud tops and precipitation, offering new insights into winter storms. Additionally, it describes the GPM constellation, a network of international satellites that monitor global precipitation patterns.

What role does the GPM core observatory play in relation to the GPM constellation?
