Hurricane Georges from TRMM: September 27, 1998

Visualizations by Greg Shirah Released on December 31, 1998

This image was taken at 2:00 PM.

A fly-in to Hurricane Georges on September 27, 1998 at 2:00 PM, showing the three-dimensional structure of the precipitation 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.

Precipitation rates on the ground superimposed on an cloud image of Hurricane Georges taken on September 27, 1998. Red represents regions of highest rainfall.
