TRMM Tropical Microwave Imager (TMI) sees the power of Hurricane Jeanne On September 26, 2004
|
NASA's TRMM spacecraft is used by meteorologists to understand It looks underneath of the storm's clouds to reveal the underlying rain structure. 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 inches of rain and red is at least 2.0 inches of rain per hour.
