Happy birthday GPM! 🥳🛰️

This week we celebrate 10 years in space for the @NASA / @JAXA_en GPM Core Observatory satellite.

10 years ago this week, the @NASA / @JAXA_en Global Precipitation Measurement satellite launched into space! Over the past decade GPM has advanced our knowledge of Earth’s water cycle and extreme weather events, benefitting communities around the world.

RT @Jess_Panegyres: Australia’s extreme weather explained:

“climate change is causing more erratic weather & intensifying extreme events …

What models can tell us is that with every degree of warming, largely caused by the burning of fossil fuels, extreme events will become more extreme.”
