TRMM: Covers Mozambique Flooding Using Monthly Moving Average Rainfall Measurements

Visualizations by Alex Kekesi Released on December 11, 2000

Monthly average rainfall measurements covering the Mozambique floods, from March 1999 through February 2000.

Animation of monthly average rainfall from March 1999 through February 2000, as measured by TRMM. This animation zooms to Africa to show the increased precipitation during February 2000 that caused flooding in Mozambique.
