CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS IPWG recent accomplishments  a new and improved "datasets" page in the IPWG website that organizes precipitation information according to their sources (single source, merged satellite data, combination of satellite and gauges, etc). These new tables are designed to guide the users directly to the precipitation data they are looking for: (Thanks to George Huffman and Vincenzo Levizzani)  the South African Weather Service joined the coordinated IPWG validation effort.  There is also a new AMMA-catch gauge data added to the ground validation data source to:

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS 7th International Precipitation Working Group Workshop October 2014 Tsukuba, Japan

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS IPWG future activities  To continue and expand validation activites :  Foster improved availability of validation data from data sparse regions: Africa;  Prepare guidance document for precipitation validation techniques and issues;  Encourage validation of precipitation datasets in hydrological models;  Collect datasets for snow validation.  To continue with training activities and establish the training devoted section at the IPWG web site.  To establish an ad-hoc Area-Average Special Interest Group to share information, processing concepts, and best practices on shapefile- averages for countries, other political subdivisions, stream basins, as well as to work toward providing data products in GIS-standard format.

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS IPWG 6 CGMS Recommendations  For products derived by operational and quasi-operational satellite algorithms based on multiple platforms and channels (VIS, IR, WV), CGMS members should set up the necessary archives of historical data together with the relevant algorithm versions. Those should be kept for a minimum of two years to facilitate intercomparisons and enable graceful transitions to the new algorithms.  The archive infrastructure should enable routine access to and assembly of channels from GEO and LEO satellites to provide consistent generation of multi- channel satellite records supporting a range of precipitation-related applications.  The infrastructure should also allow an efficient reprocessing of products for climate data record generation.

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS IPWG 6 CGMS Recommendations  IPWG recommend to CGMS to ensure the long-term continuity of conically-scanning microwave imagers, as well as space based radars, consistent with the CGMS baseline and the WMO Vision for the Global Observing System in  Furthermore, the coordination of satellite overpass times has to be ensured including non sun- synchronous platforms with a minimum temporal resolution of 3 h.  CGMS members and WMO should provide adequate support to ensure active participation at international meetings and training events.  To ensure the optimum use of satellite-based precipitation products more training is necessary. Satellite agencies are invited to cooperate in this endeavor with IPWG experts and the WMO/CGMS VLab.

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Why we need 3 hour sampling of conical- scanning MWI (1/2) The 3-hour requirement to provide an adequate resolution of the diurnal cycle of precipitation. The diurnal cycle of TRMM PF rainfall (solid), CDC gauge rainfall (dash), and rain frequency (dash–dot) over the southeast United States, normalized to the daily mean amplitude

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Why we need 3 hour sampling of conical- scanning MWI (2/2) To fill the temporal gaps, we developed morphing techniques using Geo IR data. But, the precipitation retrievals lose their quality by minutes from the MWI observation time. NWP models require accurate precip estimation on short time. Note: High-resolution conical-scanning MWI (TMI) gives retrievals that have the highest correlation with precipitation observation.

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS Baseline Constellation Schedule Prime Life Extended Life GPM Core Observatory Launch Whether will the future constellation of MW sensors on LEO (MW imagers in particular) provide sufficient temporal sampling to derive precipitation estimates?  Ageing instruments of TRMM (TMI)  Difficulties reported by IPWG members in accessing MWRI data from FY-3 and MWI data on HY-2  Dysfunctional data stream from MADRAS on Megha-Tropiques.  AMSR2+ flying on GCOM-W1-3 through 2025?

CGMS-41, July 2013, Tsukuba, Japan Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites - CGMS IPWG 6 CGMS Recommendations  IPWG recommend to CGMS to ensure the long-term continuity of conically-scanning microwave imagers, as well as space based radars, consistent with the CGMS baseline and the WMO Vision for the Global Observing System in  Furthermore, the coordination of satellite overpass times has to be ensured including non sun- synchronous platforms with a minimum temporal resolution of 3 h.  CGMS members and WMO should provide adequate support to ensure active participation at international meetings and training events.  To ensure the optimum use of satellite-based precipitation products more training is necessary.
