This data visualization starts by looking at Hurricane Douglas via IMERG precipitation measurements over cloud cover as Douglas approaches the Hawaiian islands on July 25, 2020. GPM then flies over to collect more detailed measurements of the Hurricane's surface precipitation and internal structure via it's GMI and DPR instruments respectively.
GPM data is archived at https://pps.gsfc.nasa.gov/
