Short summary
The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) is a new satellite instrument for observing global rainfall and snowfall. This paper documents the effective spatial resolution of the GMI's microwave imagery and describes the results of a computational method for optimally matching the resolutions of different channels.
