THe third is green and shows 1.7 inches of rain per hour. The forth is yellow and represents 2.0 inches of rain per hour. The last isosurface is red and shows 2.2 inches or more of rain per hour.

This animation zooms down to Cyclone Boura and peels away the cloudtop to reveal the underlying rain structure. The structure is represented by 5 isosurfaces. The first isosurface is grey and depicts areas with 0.5 inches of rain per hour. The second is light blue and reflects 1.0 inches of rain per hour. THe third is green and shows 1.7 inches of rain per hour. The forth is yellow and represents 2.0 inches of rain per hour. The last isosurface is red and shows 2.2 inches or more of rain per hour.
