The document discusses the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, which measures rainfall and snowfall from space to advance understanding of Earth's water cycle and improve weather forecasting. GPM provides global observations of precipitation that help humanity by informing them of upcoming weather so they can prepare. GPM data can also help diagnose the intensity of rain and snow, allowing citizens to be informed on actions they can take to mitigate global warming, such as reducing water runoff or backyard smoke.

Assignment 10 Watch the video “Our Wet Wide World.” Answer the following in your notebook:
1. This is the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM): a
mission to me a sure the amount of rainfall and snow. It is a wide spectrum to measure the rain to ice. What is GPM for?
Global precipitation measurement or the GPM provide
the next-generation global observations of rain and snow to advance our understanding of Earth's water and energy cycle, improve forecasting of extreme events, and provide accurate and timely information to directly
2. How does it help humanity?
GPM can help humanity in informing them what the
weather is for the following days. Because of the GPM’s information we can prepare ourselves all the time.
3. How much do I contribute in increasing or mitigating the
global warming?
GPM can diagnose how hard and how light the
rain and snow will be. In that case gpm can inform the citizens what we should do to lessen the sudden increase in global warming. Do we need to lessen the conduction of water, should we lesson the smoke that we produce even in our own backyard?
