In this activity, you will be guided to download monthly satellite-observed liquid accumulation equivalents that you can use to see how much precipitation was observed for your location. NASA uses the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG), which is a unified satellite precipitation product, to estimate surface precipitation globally.
