Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Water cycle is one of the key elements in the Earth system. Satellite observation is essential to document the global distribution and variation of the water cycle. Recent technology made possible to directly observe precipitation from space. The first spaceborne rain radar is now in the orbit and revealed the vertical structure of rain systems. A follow-on satellite program, called the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is now investigated.
