This animation shows instantaneous rainrate estimates from NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM or IMERG product over North America and the surrounding waters beginning on Thursday October 5th when Nate first became a tropical storm near the northeast coast of Nicaragua in the western Caribbean until its eventual landfall on the northern Gulf Coast on Sunday October 8th. IMERG estimates precipitation from a combination of space-borne passive microwave sensors, including the GMI microwave sensor onboard the GPM core satellite, and geostationary IR (infrared) data. The animation shows Nate moving rapidly northward through the Gulf of Mexico on the 7th. Nate's rapid movement from 20 to as much as 26 mph did not allow the storm much time to strengthen despite being over very warm waters and in a relatively low wind shear environment. Nate reached a peak intensity of 90 mph sustained winds, which it maintained while passing over the Gulf of Mexico, but it did not intensify any further before making landfall. The animation also shows two 3D flyby's of Nate captured by the GPM core satellite as it overflew the storm just before landfall at 22:58 UTC (5:58 CDT) on Saturday October 7th and again at 08:42 UTC (3:42 CDT) on Sunday October 8th soon after Nate's second landfall. The 3D precipitation tops (shown in blue) are from GPM's DPR as are the vertical cross sections of precipitation intensity. The first overpass shows that Nate is a very asymmetric storm with most of the rainbands associated with Nate located north and east of the center. With it's rapid movement, Nate was unable to fully develop and lacks the classic ring of intense thunderstorms associated a fully developed eyewall. Although overall much the same, the second overpass shows an area of deep, intense convection producing heavy rains over southwest Alabama. || nate.1890_print.jpg (1024x576) [166.6 KB] || nate.1890_searchweb.png (320x180) [92.3 KB] || nate.1890_thm.png (80x40) [7.5 KB] || nate.mp4 (1920x1080) [37.1 MB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || nate.webm (1920x1080) [5.1 MB] || nate.mp4.hwshow [170 bytes] || ", "hits": 22 }, { "id": 4586, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4586/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-10-05T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hurricane Tracks from 2017 with Precipitation and Cloud Data", "description": "2017 Atlantic Hurricane season storm tracks with IMERG precipitation and GOES clouds (01 Aug 2017 to 31 Oct 2017) || hurricane_tracks2017_09cpc.2500_print.jpg (1024x576) [187.1 KB] || hurricane_tracks2017_09cpc.2500_searchweb.png (180x320) [111.1 KB] || hurricane_tracks2017_09cpc.2500_thm.png (80x40) [8.1 KB] || atlantic (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || hurricane_tracks2017_1920x1080.webm (1920x1080) [28.1 MB] || hurricane_tracks2017_1920x1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [504.9 MB] || 3840x2160_16x9_30p (3840x2160) [0 Item(s)] || hurricane_tracks2017_640x360p30.mp4 (640x360) [78.6 MB] || hurricane_tracks2017_4k.mp4 (3840x2160) [1.5 GB] || ", "hits": 48 }, { "id": 4585, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4585/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2017-09-19T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hurricane Jose lingers in the Atlantic as Hurricane Maria approaches Puerto Rico", "description": "GPM passed over both Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Jose on September 18th, 2017.

Nothing else even comes close. They are fearsome tropical storms that spring to life roughly the same time every year, churning up oceans and shredding the nerves of residents who live along coastal zones.But hurricanes are really just manifestations of natural processes interacting. As such, they provide unusual opportunities for scientific research, and if recent history is any guide, the beginning of the twenty-first century augurs a new era in hurricane understanding.Using NASA's extraordinary fleet of Earth observing instruments, scientists have recently made discoveries about the behavior and nature of these gigantic storms. It turns out that they often begin in unexpected, distant places around the globe; they can alter the course of other storms trailing behind; they can stretch their arms hundreds of miles in all directions. Observations from space have enabled NASA and other research institutions to develop sophisticated computer models, too. These models allow scientists to simulate and test hypothesizes about hurricanes, which in turn facilitate development of new, more accurate predictive tools. || ", "hits": 20 }, { "id": 3196, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/3196/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2005-07-11T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Hurricane Dennis", "description": "The formation of Hurricane Dennis on July 5 made that the earliest date on record that four named storms formed in the Atlantic basin.

Red colors indicate regions of the most significant rainfall. Notice the spires stretching up in to the sky. These 'hot towers' suggest an efficient and powerful heat engine inside the storm, emphasizing to experts just how powerful this particular hurricane may be. This visualization shows the internal storm structure by melting away different surfaces of constant rain rates then building them back up.
