Hurricane Floyd from TRMM: September 16, 1999

Visualizations by Greg Shirah Released on October 14, 1999

A fly-in to Hurricane Floyd on September 16, 1999, 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. The global cloud cover data was measured by GOES.
