The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission consists of the GPM Core Observatory and the constellation satellites. The GPM Core Observatory carries the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) developed by JAXA and NICT and the microwave radiometer developed by NASA. The constellation satellites carry microwave radiometer instruments. The DPR Level-1 algorithm developed by JAXA provides fundamental information including received power, geometrical information and data quality. JAXA also has the responsibility of calibration of the DPR sensors and will conduct internal calibrations with the onboard calibration system and external calibrations with an Active Radar Calibrator (ARC). This paper describes the concepts of the DPR Level-1 algorithm and the calibration methods. |
