NASA | GPM Wraps Up Cold Season Field Campaign

The video discusses a successful field campaign in Ontario, Canada, aimed at collecting data on snowfall intensities to improve detection from space using the GPM core satellite. Despite less snowfall than expected, the team completed 14 missions over six weeks, gathering essential data. The process involved extensive quality control of data from ground instruments, aircraft, and satellite simulators. The ultimate goal is to develop algorithms for accurate snowfall retrieval from space.
