TRMM 3-D Hurricanes
Image for TRMM 3D Hurricanes
Movie   ID   Title
Hurricane Rita on September 21, 2005 at 0909Z. The storm has a 25 nautical mile eye diameter. Blue represents the rain structure that is fueling the storm.   3260   Hurricane Rita from TRMM: September 21, 2005
The TRMM spacecraft's Precipation Radar (PR) instrument observed 18 km towers in the eye wall of Hurricane Rita.   3259   Hurricane Rita's Hot Towers
Hurricane Rita on September 20, 2005. The colored rainbands beneath the clouds depict the rain that fuels the storm. Blue represents areas where 0.5 inches of rain per hour. Green represents 1.0 inches per hour.   3258   Hurricane Rita from TRMM: September 20, 2005
Energy-releasing deep convective clouds (to 16 km) in the eyewall of Hurricane Katrina on August 28 occurred while the storm was intensifying to a category 5 classification.   3253   Hurricane Katrina Hot Towers
Look under the clouds of Hurricane Ophelia to see the rain that fuels the storm. Areas of blue indicate regions where 0.5 inches of rain per hour were recorded.   3245   Hurricane Ophelia from TRMM: September 11, 2005 1826 Zulu
Hurricane Ophelia at 1648 Zulu. Peer under the clouds to see the rain structure fueling the storm.   3244   Hurricane Ophelia from TRMM: September 11, 2005 1648 Zulu
Hurricane Katrina strikes the southeastern Louisiana and the northern gulf coast as a category 4 hurricane. Look under the clouds to see the rainfall that powers the storm.   3219   Hurricane Katrina from TRMM: August 29, 2005
NASA's TRMM spacecraft peers beneath the clouds of Hurricane Katrina to see the rainfall that powers the storm.   3218   Hurricane Katrina from TRMM: August 28, 2005
Portrait image of Hurricane Emily as it makes landfall in Mexico.   3215   Hurricane Emily: July 20, 2005
Hurricane Katrina moves slowly toward Florida and dumps 6 to 10 inches of accumulated rainfall over the region. In this animation, the amount of rainfall can be seen through color. blue is 0.25 inches per hour. Green is 0.5 inches per hour. Yellow is 1 inch per hour and red is 2 or more inches per hour.   3214   Hurricane Katrina from TRMM: August 25, 2005
This is the view of Hurricane Dennis scene by the TRMM spacecraft on July 6, 2005 at 2i30Z.   3190   Hurricane Dennis on July 6, 2005
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.   3172   Hurricane Ivan Rainfall Structure with Cloud Overlay on September 16, 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
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
