Part I of this article details how the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission (Hou et al., 2014; Skofronick-Jackson et al., 2017, 2018; Kidd et al., 2020) addresses the challenge of global observations of precipitation from a spaceborne perspective (Watters and Battaglia, 2021). In particular, the article highlights the advances in precipitation science provided by the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) and the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) on-board the GPM Core Observatory (CO), and the passive microwave radiometers on-board each of the GPM constellation of international satellites. </p>
