GPM Nile River Animation

Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is to improve ongoing efforts to predict climate, improve the accuracy of weather and precipitation forecasts, and to provide more frequent and complete sampling of the Earth's precipitation.

Starting at Lake Nasser in Egypt, this animation flies towards the Mediterranean Sea. Then spirals up towards the heavens, resting to a stop with the Earth in full view.
