TRMM Hurricane Alley: September 2, 1998

Visualizations by Greg Shirah Released on December 31, 1998

In one remarkable pass on September 2, 1998, TRMM captured data from four hurricanes: Howard, Isis, Earl, and Danielle.

A fly along to TRMMs orbital path on September 2, 1998, showing the three-dimensional structure of the precipitation of four hurricanes, Howard, Isis, Earl, and Danielle, as measured by the Precipitation Radar instrument on TRMM. In this animation, a surface of constant precipitation is colored by the value of the precipitation on the ground under the surface.
