IMERG Measures Rainfall From Tropical Storm Philippe Plus Northeast Low

NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals (IMERG) data were used in this analysis to show total rainfall accumulation estimates during the period from October 27 - 31, 2017. Tropical storm Philippe formed and dissipated during that period. The tropical storm formed over the western Caribbean from tropical depression eighteen on October 28, 2017.
