Did you know that GPM data has enabled people to better understand how water moves through our planet and make informed decisions that lead to improved outcomes for society? GPM continues to support a range of applications from water resource management, agriculture, vector- and water-borne disease monitoring, animal migration, tropical cyclone location and intensity estimation, hydropower management, flood and landslide monitoring and forecasting, and land system modeling, among others. Join us during this free webinar to learn about the multiple ways GPM is used throughout the world and gain a perspective from two GPM power users that help support weather forecasters and the ecological community.

On the morning of Sunday, June 30, Hurricane Beryl became a rare early season major hurricane when it reached Category 3 status with sustained winds of 115 mph as it was moving across the Atlantic 420 miles east-southeast of Barbados in the direction of the Leeward Islands.
