A fly along to TRMM's orbital path on September 2, 1998, showing the three-dimensional structure of the precipitation of four hurricanes, Howard, Isis, Earl, and Danielle, as measured by the Precipitation Radar instrument on TRMM. In this animation, a surface of constant precipitation is colored by the value of the precipitation on the ground under the surface.
