  • Abstract
    The Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) product, which was developed toward the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), is operating and distributed in near-real-time basis at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). In this paper, we will introduce development status of the latest GSMaP algorithm, which will be distributed as one of JAXA GPM product.
