TRMM 3-D Hurricanes
Image for TRMM 3D Hurricanes
Movie   ID   Title
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
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
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 Isabels structure as a category 4   2997   Hurricane Isabel: Under the Hood (PR and AMSU only)
Hurricane Isabel as a category 3   2996   Hurricane Isabel: Under the Hood (with popout boxes)
Hurricane Isabel as a category 3   2995   Hurricane Isabel: Under the Hood (background only)
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
Isabels rain structure: The yellow isosurface represents areas where at least 0.5 inches of rain fell per hour. The green isosurface show 1.0 inches of rain per hour and red displays where more than 2 inches of rain fell per hour.   2827   Hurricane Isabel Batters North Carolina, September 18, 2003
Peel the cloud layer away to see the actual rain structure of Hurricane Isabel on September 17, 2003.   2826   Hurricane Isabel Prepares to Make Landfall in North Carolina, September 17, 2003
Hurricane Isabel - September 15, 2003. The diameter of the eye measures 40 nautical miles.   2804   Hurricane Isabel Barrels Down on the East Coast, September 15, 2003
The cloud layer   2799   Typhoon Maemi, September 11, 2003
Hurricane Isabel on September 8, 2003. Red= at least 2.0 inches of rain per hour, green is 1.0 inches of rain, and yellow is 0.5 inches of rain   2798   Hurricane Isabel, September 8, 2003
Hurricane Ignacio hits Baja, California on August 25, 2003. Look beneath the clouds to see the rain structure that powers the storm. Red is the heaviest rainfall.   2797   Hurricane Ignacio on August 25, 2003
Hurricane Fabian approaches Bermuda on September 4, 2003. Look underneath the hood of the storm to see the engine of the storm, rain. Green represents 0.5 inches of rain per hour, yellow is 1 inch per hour and red is 2 or more inches of rain per hour.   2794   Hurricane Fabian Approaches Bermuda, September 4, 2003
This annotation zooms down to the South China Sea just as Typhoon Koni is causing severe weather problems.   2784   Typhoon Koni Hits South China Sea
Rain structure of Hurricane Claudette   2783   Hurricane Claudette Approached Texas July 15, 2003
The visualization zooms down to the storm and then shows the overall rain structure. Blue represents areas where at least 0.5 inches of rain fell per hour. Green shows at least 1.0 inch of rain. Yellow is 1.7 inches and red depicts more than 2.2 inches of rain per hour.   2661   Tropical Cyclone Zoe Devastates South Pacific Islands, December 29, 2002
Peel away the clouds to reveal the underlying rain structure. The rain structure is depicted with 5 different isosurfaces. The first isosurface is grey and depicts areas with 0.5 inches of rain per hour. The second is light blue and reflects 1.0 inches of rain per hour. The third is green and shows 1.7 inches of rain per hour. The forth is yellow and represents 2.0 inches of rain per hour. The last isosurface is red and shows 2.2 inches or more of rain per hour.   2659   Tropical Cyclone Crystal on December 25, 2002
Peel away the clouds to reveal the storms structure.   2647   Tropical Cyclone Boura on November 17, 2002
Scan across the clouds of Tropical Depression 14 to reveal the rain structure. Blue represents areas where at least 0.5 inches of rain fell per hour. Green shows at least 1.0 inch of rain. Yellow is 1.7 inches and red depicts more than 2.2 inches of rain per hour.   2642   Tropical Depression 14 on October 15, 2002
Peel Away the clouds to see the structure. Light blue shows at least 1.0 inch of rain. Green represents at least 1.7 inches of rain. Yellow is areas with over 2.0 inches of rain fell per hour, and red depicts more than 2.0 inches of rain per hour.   2635   Tropical Storm Kenna on October 22, 2002
