Cyclone Susan
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite was launched in November 1997. An early TRMM observation was Cyclone Susan, which barreled through the South Pacific Ocean in the second week of January 1998. TRMM measured the storm's rain height and coverage.

An animation of the TRMM satellite taking measurements of Cyclone Susan, followed by a slice through the cyclone showing a surface of constant precipitation density colored by surface rainfall amounts. Data taken by TRMM on January 7, 1998.    An animation of the TRMM satellite taking measurements of Cyclone Susan, followed by a slice through the cyclone showing a surface of constant precipitation density colored by surface rainfall amounts.
