Tropical Cyclone Rusty's Flooding Rainfall

Tropical Cyclone Rusty's Flooding Rainfall
In addition to high winds tropical cyclone Rusty's heavy rainfall caused flooding in north-western Australia. The TRMM satellite's main purpose is the accurate measurement of tropical rainfall around the globe. TRMM is also used to calibrate rainfall estimates from other satellites. The TRMM-based, near-real time Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center provides estimates of rainfall over the global Tropics. TMPA rainfall totals in association with tropical cyclone Rusty are shown for the period from February 21-28, 2013. Rusty's approximate 0000Z

Tropical Cyclone Rusty Moves Into Australia

Tropical Cyclone Rusty Moves Into Australia
On February 27, 2013 at 0559 UTC The TRMM satellite again saw tropical cyclone Rusty moving toward Australia's coastline north-west of Hedland. A rainfall analysis derived from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) data is shown overlaid on a visible/infrared image from the TRMM Visible and InfraRed Scanner (VIRS). Rusty's eye, surrounded by light to moderate rainfall, was revealed by TRMM's TMI data to be located very near the coastline.
