Hurricanes


Movie   ID   Title
Accumulated rainfall from September 6-20,2003.  This image is derived from data from the TRMM Multisatellite Precipitation Analysis Product .   3131   Hurricane Isabel 2003 Rain Accumulation
This picture shows the intensity of the storm through color.  Purple is the weakest classification, Tropical Depression.Red is the most deadly classification, Hurricane Five.   3026   Hurricane Ivan Track and Intensity September 2-23, 2004
The TRMM spacecraft allows us to see beneath the clouds from Hurricane Jeanne to see the rain which powers the storm.   3025   TRMM Tropical Microwave Imager (TMI) view of Hurricane Jeanne on September 27, 2004
The TRMM spacecraft allows us to see beneath the clouds from Hurricane Jeanne to see the rain which powers the storm.   3024   TRMM Tropical Microwave Imager (TMI) Sees the Power of Hurricane Jeanne on September 26, 2004
The source of power that feeds a hurricane is its rainfall.  The TRMM spacecraft allows us to look beneath the clouds to see the structure of the rain.   3023   TRMM Tropical Microwave Imager (TMI) Sees the Power of Hurricane Jeanne on September 25, 2004
Areas of red show where at least 3 inches of accumulated rain were recorded between September 2, 2004 and September 28, 2004..  Areas of yellow show 1 inch of accumulated rain.  The green path represents the track of Hurricane Frances from August 25, 2004 till September 9, 2004.  The red line represents the track of Hurricane Ivan from September 2, 2004 till September 23, 2004.  Purple is Hurricane Jeanne from September 13, 2004 till September 28, 2004.   3022   Hurricanes Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne Bring Record Rainfall
September 23, 2004 The blue isosurface represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour.   3016   TRMM Precipiation Radar Observes Rain Structure of Hurricane Jeanne on September 23, 2004
First, Hurricane Frances brought record rainfalls to the Bahamas, Florida, and Georgia. Then, Hurricane Ivan inundated Jamaica, Cuba, Alabama, and Florida.   3013   Hurricane Ivan Rain Accumulation September 2-19, 2004 (wide view)
This picture shows the position of the eye of Hurricane Ivan, as well as, the intensity of the storm.  The intensity of the storm is depicted through color.  See color bar for a detailed description of the values.   3012   Hurricane Ivan Track and Intensity September 2-19, 2004
 TRMM provides this view of Hurricane Ivan on September 16, 2004, as its eye makes landfall.  TRMM lets us see through the clouds. Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour.   3011   Hurricane Ivan Rainfall Structure seen by TRMM on September 16, 2004
Hurricane Ivan on September 9, 2004. It looks underneath of the storms clouds to reveal the underlying rain structure. Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour.   3010   Hurricane Ivan Rainfall Structure Seen from TRMM September 9, 2004
Hurricane Ivan on September 15, 2004.  The rain structure is taken by TRMMs Precipitation Radar (PR). Precipitation Radar has a horizontal resolution at the ground of about 2.5 miles (four kilometers) and a swath width of 137 miles (220 kilometers). One of its most important features will be its ability to provide vertical profiles of the rain and snow from the surface up to a height of about 12 miles (20 kilometers). It looks underneath of the storms clouds to reveal the underlying rain structure. Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour.  High vertical bands on the outside of the storm indicated that Hurricane Ivan was very likely to spawn tornados in Florida and Georgia.   3009   TRMM Looks at the Rain Fueling Hurricane Ivan on September 15, 2004
Hurricane Ivan on September 13, 2004.  Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour.   3008   Hurricane Ivan Rainfall Structure on September 13, 2004
Hurricane Ivan on September 14, 2004   3007   Hurricane Ivan Progression as Seen by MODIS September 9-14, 2004

Hurricane Frances relative to North America   2990   TRMM Observes Cloud Towers in Hurricane Frances
This animation follows Hurricane Isabel (2003) from its birthplace in the Ethiopian Highlands of East Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean, to the United States.  Atlantic hurricanes are often formed as winds over the Gulf of Aden intersect with the Ethiopian Highlands.   2987   Hurricane Isabel Genesis
This animation shows Hurricane Charley from August 9, 2004 to August 15, 2004.  It shows the track and intensity of the storm with a colored path.  Green denotes Tropical Depression status. Gold denotes Tropical Storm status. Red is Hurricane 1  on the Saffir Simpson scale.  Orange is Hurricane 3  on the Saffir Simpson scale.  Purple is Hurricane 4 on the Saffir Simpson scale.   2986   Hurricane Charley Progression
