GPM Introduction
The Meteorological Service of Catalunya (METEOCAT) and the Group of Applied Research on
Hydrometeorology (GRAHI-UPC) are leading a proposal effort in coordination with the GPM
Mission’s Project Science Office at the NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center to establish the
Catalunya radar-rainguage network as one of a small set of validation supersites needed for the
international GPM mission. The unique operations-research synergy created by METOCAT and
GRAHI and the high quality of hardware and software components developed for Catalunya’s
precipitation network provide the compelling argument to incorporate this facility into the GPM
Mission’s Ground Validation Supersite Network.
