Title:
Hurricane Frances Structure September 1, 2004
Instrument:
TRMM/PR
Description:
Look under the Hurricane Francess clouds to see the rain structure. Spikes in the rain structure known as Towers indicate the strengthening of the storm. THe bands are colored according to rain intensity. Blue is .25 inches of rain per hour. Green is 0.5 inches of rain per hour. Yellow is 1.0 inches of rain and red is 2.0 inches of rain per hour.
Abstract:
NASA's TRMM spacecraft is used by meteorologists to understand the underlying rain structure beneath Hurricane Frances on September 1, 2004. Here large and powerful towers are making the hurricane stronger. The rain bands are colored to represent rain intensity. Blue represents areas with at least 0.25 inches of rain per hour. Green shows at least 0.5 inches of rain per hour. Yellow is at least 1.0 inch of rain and red is at least 2.0 inches of rain per hour.
