TRMM Sees Arthur Intensifying

TRMM Sees Arthur Intensifying

Tropical storm Arthur intensified and was upgraded to a hurricane by the National Hurricane Center (NHC) early this morning. The TRMM satellite flew above the intensifying tropical storm on July 2, 2014 at 2156 UTC (7:56 PM EDT). At that time TRMM found that Arthur hadn't formed an eye but had heavy rain near the center of a well defined circulation. Rainfall derived from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) is shown overlaid on a GOES-EAST Visible/Infrared image collected at the same time as the TRMM pass.
