Title:
Hurricane Frances
Description:
(blue) rainfall that marks the beginning of a new eyewall. The second image is from the same time and shows the height of the 15 dBZ isosurface as seen by the PR. This is associated with light rain but where hydrometeor sizes are becoming significant. The coloring indicates the height: red being high, green moderate and blue low. Here the inner eyewall is separated by the new outer eyewall by the minimum in the height of the 15 dBZ isosurface (blue area). The tall tower (red spike) southwest of the center is associated with an outer rainband. TRMM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA.
