The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission provides near-real time precipitation estimates that can be used for monitoring water supply infrastructure. To better understand the potential use of GPM data products for use in relevant applications, this study examines the performance of the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) precipitation products throughout North Carolina to capture rainfall events. Event characteristics derived from IMERG precipitation products: early (4 h latency), late (14 h latency), and final (3.5 month latency) are compared to characteristics derived from gauges (
