NASA’s Global Tour of Precipitation in Ultra HD (4K)

The video explains different forms of precipitation and how modern satellites, like those in the Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM), provide detailed global precipitation data. It highlights the role of the GPM core observatory in mapping precipitation patterns and discusses the impact of climate factors such as sea surface temperature and winds on precipitation. The video also covers the significance of tracking storms for understanding and predicting natural disasters.
