Global vertically polarized 85GHz microwave brightness temperatures  measured by the TMI instrument on TRMM from August 26, 2005 to August 30, 2005, during Hurricane Katrina. 3242 TRMM Microwave Brightness Temperature Swath during Hurricane Katrina: Vertical Polarization
This animation shows accumulated rainfall from
2005-01-06 through 2005-01-11. Each frame covers a three-hour
period. Each image pixel is 0.25 degrees on a side; the total
area covered is 20x20 degrees in longitude and latitude (80x80
pixels). 3148 Heavy Rainfall Leads to Southern California Mudslides (WMS)
Animation of Hurricane Isabel rainfall
accumulation from September 6 through 19, 2003. Frames were
taken every 3 hours starting at 00:00UT on 2003-09-06. Each
pixel covers 0.25deg of longitude and latitude; the total area shown
is 80x40 degrees. 3146 Rainfall Accumulation from Hurricane Isabel (WMS)
This animation shows global rainfall, with red representing the highest amount.  During this time, Hurricane Fabian can be seen in the Atlantic Ocean. 2910 Global TRMM Rainmap, August - September 2003 (WMS)
