Advances in Precipitation Measurements and Sciences

摘要

The International Precipitation Working Group (IPWG) is one of the science groups to improve satellite system utilization within the Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). IPWG is interested in quantitative precipitation measurements from operational and research perspectives. Its endeavor is to foster the development of better precipitation measurements, the improvement of scientific understanding of the related processes, and the development of international partnerships. IPWG organizes the series of workshops every 2-years to exchange recent scientific issues, gather opinions and recommendations on new and ongoing satellite missions for precipitation and specifically advice CGMS.
