"title": "GPM Captures Hurricane Matthew Over Haiti",
"description": "This animation starts with an overview of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. As the camera slowly pushes in, Hurricane Matthew begins to form. By the morning of October 2nd, 2016 Matthew is a Category 4 Hurricane immediately south of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Time then slows down to see GPM's GPROF swath reveal ground precipitation from the hurricane. Now, with the camera closer in the view rotates to reveal a curtain of 3-dimensional radar data from GPM's DPR instrument. DPR shows the 3-D structure of the hurricane's precipitation rates. Areas in blue and purple are frozen precipitation, whereas areas in greens and reds are liquid precipitation. The data for October 2nd then fades away and the hurricane advances to October 3rd, stopping over Haiti. A new satellite pass of GPM GPROF ground precipitation is revealed, followed by a new curtain of 3-D DPR data. || mathhew_v2.2390_print.jpg (1024x576) [167.4 KB] || mathhew_v2.2390_searchweb.png (320x180) [101.7 KB] || mathhew_v2.2390_thm.png (80x40) [7.5 KB] || matthew_v2_annotated_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [60.2 MB] || Matthew_with_annotations (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || matthew_v2_annotated_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [8.0 MB] || matthew_v2_annotated_4508.key [62.7 MB] || matthew_v2_annotated_4508.pptx [62.3 MB] || matthew_v2_annotated_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [228 bytes] || ",

"description": "On October 2nd and 3rd, 2016 NASA's Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM core observatory satellite flew over Hurricane Matthew. The first pass shows Matthew immediately after it became a category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 150 mph on October 2nd, 2016. The second pass shows it over Haiti on October 3rd as it buffets Haiti with sustained winds of 140 mph.
The GPM Core Observatory carries two instruments that show the location and intensity of rain and snow, which defines a crucial part of the storm structure – and how it will behave. The GPM Microwave Imager sees through the tops of clouds to observe how much and where precipitation occurs, and the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar observes precise details of precipitation in 3-dimensions.
GPM data is part of the toolbox of satellite data used by forecasters and scientists to understand how storms behave. GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Current and future data sets are available with free registration to users from NASA Goddard's Precipitation Processing Center website.",

"description": "NASA scientists are investigating key questions about hurricanes in a new mission from the skies. This August, the East Pacific Origins and Characteristics of Hurricanes, or EPOCH, mission will fly over East Pacific storms to better understand how they form and intensify. EPOCH will conduct up to six 24-hour science flights using the Global Hawk unmanned aircraft. Three of the flights are being supported through a partnership with the NOAA UAS Program. Data will be collected using three instruments (EXRAD, HAMSR, and AVAPS) aboard the aircraft that will map out the 3-D patterns of temperature, pressure, humidity, precipitation, and wind speed - key factors that influence hurricane behavior. NASA scientists use a combination of ground, modeled, and satellite data to re-create multi-dimensional pictures of hurricanes and other major storms in order to study complex atmospheric interactions. || ",

"description": "NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement Mission or GPM core satellite captured Hurricane Matthew in 3-D as it made landfall on Haiti and as it travelled up to the Florida coast. GPM flew directly over the storm several times between October 2 - October 6, 2016. The most recent view on October 6 reveals massive amounts of rainfall being produced by the storm as it approaches Florida.The GPM core satellite carries two instruments that show the location and intensity of rain and snow, which defines a crucial part of the storm structure – and how it will behave. The GPM Microwave Imager sees through the tops of clouds to observe how much and where precipitation occurs, and the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar observes precise details of precipitation in 3-dimensions.For more information about the science behind Hurricane Matthew visit: http://www.nasa.gov/matthewFor the latest storm warnings and safety information please consult your local news channels and the National Hurricane Center: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/Video credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Joy NgMusic credit: Diamond Skies by Andrew Skeet [PRS], Anthony Phillips [PRS] from the KillerTracks catalog || LARGE_MP4-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_large.00071_print.jpg (1024x576) [177.2 KB] || LARGE_MP4-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_large.00071_searchweb.png (180x320) [103.3 KB] || LARGE_MP4-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_large.00071_web.png (320x180) [103.3 KB] || LARGE_MP4-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_large.00071_thm.png (80x40) [7.6 KB] || APPLE_TV-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [56.4 MB] || YOUTUBE_HQ-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_youtube_hq.webm (1920x1080) [10.2 MB] || APPLE_TV-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_appletv_subtitles.m4v (1280x720) [56.5 MB] || LARGE_MP4-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_large.mp4 (1920x1080) [118.1 MB] || YOUTUBE_HQ-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_youtube_hq.mov (1920x1080) [278.4 MB] || NASA_TV-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D.mpeg (1280x720) [392.7 MB] || PRORES_B-ROLL-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_prores.mov (1280x720) [846.1 MB] || Matthew.en_US.srt [1.7 KB] || Matthew.en_US.vtt [1.7 KB] || 12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_prores.mov (1920x1080) [1.6 GB] || NASA_PODCAST-12389_HurricaneMatthew3D_ipod_sm.mp4 (320x240) [16.6 MB] || ",

"alt_text": "This data visualization resumes where the visualization \"GPM Captures Hurricane Matthew Nearing Florida\" leaves off. In this animation Hurricane Matthew travels up the east coast from Florida to the Carolinas. On October 8, 2016 Matthew (still a category 2 hurricane) dumps massive amounts of rain throughout the southeast dousing North and South Carolina. GPM then flies over the area revealing precipitation rates on the ground. As we zoom in closer, GPM's DPR sensor reveals a curtain of 3D rain rates within the massive weather system. ",

"description": "This data visualization resumes where the visualization \"GPM Captures Hurricane Matthew Over Haiti\" leaves off. After dissolving away GPM's DPR and GPROF data over Haiti on October 3rd, 2016, we follow Matthew to October 4th as the eye makes landfall over Haiti. GPM's GPROF sweeps in to show the tremendous amounts of rainfall throughout Haiti. We then move forward in time to October 6th as Matthew approaches Florida. Another GPM GPROF swath shows how close the outer bands of precipitation are to the Florida coast. Finally, we move a little further into the same day revealing the massive amounts of rainfall being produced by this storm as it begins to impact Florida. || mathhew_v3_annotated.3899_print.jpg (1024x576) [141.6 KB] || mathhew_v3_annotated.3899_searchweb.png (320x180) [94.1 KB] || mathhew_v3_annotated.3899_thm.png (80x40) [6.9 KB] || mathhew_v3_annotated_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [25.4 MB] || Matthew_with_annotations (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || mathhew_v3_annotated_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [4.2 MB] || mathhew_v3_annotated_4511.key [28.4 MB] || mathhew_v3_annotated_4511.pptx [28.0 MB] || mathhew_v3_annotated_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [228 bytes] || ",

"description": "This animation starts with an overview of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. As the camera slowly pushes in, Hurricane Matthew begins to form. By the morning of October 2nd, 2016 Matthew is a Category 4 Hurricane immediately south of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Time then slows down to see GPM's GPROF swath reveal ground precipitation from the hurricane. Now, with the camera closer in the view rotates to reveal a curtain of 3-dimensional radar data from GPM's DPR instrument. DPR shows us the 3-D structure of the hurricane's precipitation rates.
