Overview: Understanding how the behavior of large-scale precipitating systems is impacted by atmospheric variables can yield important insights about subseasonal variability and predictability across different regions. For this project, we explored the relationship between atmospheric variables and the characteristics of large precipitating systems, such as their size, geographic distribution, volume of rain, and maximum height of the system. Mentor: Chuntao Liu

Overview: This project uses IMERG to characterize the spatial and temporal extreme precipitation events over West Africa. Mentor: Mircea Grecu

Affiliation: University of Coimbra, Earth and Space Science Center (CITEUC), Portugal Project Mentee: Simon Ageet

Overview: Hydrometeorological natural hazards are on the rise globally, yet in Africa, rainfall data which is crucial in mitigation efforts is lacking. Understanding the amount and distribution of rainfall and how it plays a role in causing these natural hazards is critical to improve disaster response and mitigation efforts. This project uses GPM IMERG data together with resources like NASA's Landslide Viewer to determine a precipitation threshold for landslides in the Mt. Elgon region of Uganda. Mentors: Vasco Mantas , Zhong Liu , Andrea Portier , Dorian Janney

This collection of resources explores some of the people and organizations using GPM and other NASA Earth data, and how they help improve life around the world.
