Visualizations by Lori Perkins Released on October 22, 2002

Tropical Storm Kenna passes 365 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico. It has maximum sustained winds of 40 mph with gusts to 50 mph. The rain structure is shown in this animation.

The visualization zooms down to the storm and then shows four isosurfaces to depict the overall rain 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.

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.

Display the rain structure of Hurricane Kenna. 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.
