TRMM Again Examines Energetic 92B

The tropical disturbance (92B) in the Bay Of Bengal was raining heavily when the TRMM satellite flew almost directly above on May 21, 2014 at 0051 UTC. TRMM's Precipitation Radar (PR) revealed that rain was falling at the extreme rate of over 191 mm/hr (about 7.5 inches) in powerful convective storms in the center of the Bay Of Bengal well to the east of India. TRMM's Precipitation Radar data were also used to construct this simulated 3-D view, looking toward the east from India, of 92B's rainfall structure. TRMM PR pulled away a veil of clouds and revealed that some powerful convective storm

TRMM Sees Stormy Bay Of Bengal

On May 19, 2014 at 1056 UTC TRMM flew over a tropical low (92B) in the Bay Of Bengal east of India. TRMM's Precipitation Radar (PR) instrument found that rain was falling at a rate of over 138 mm/hr (about 5.4 inches) in some strong convective storms. A rainfall analysis from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data is shown overlaid on a METEOSAT-7 visible/infrared image captured at 1100 UTC . TRMM PR data were also used in this 3-D image that shows a simulated view of the tropical disturbance's rainfall structure. Tall storms were shown reaching heights of over 14km
