Tropical Cyclone Alma on May 29, 2002
This is Hurricane Alma on May 29, 2002 as seen by TRMM and GOES.

The animation zooms down to Hurricand Alma and then scans across the cloud tops to reveal the underlying rain structure. There are three isosurfaces defined (Yellow = 0.5 inches/hour, Green = 1.0 inches/hour, and Red =2.0 inches/hour)


Zoom down to Hurricane Alma on May 29, 2002. Scan across the storm and remove the cloud tops to reveal 3 isosurfaces.
