The GPM core observatory satellite flew above the remnants of tropical cyclone 11S on March 14, 2017 at 2356 UTC. The remnants were located south-southeast of Madagasgar and were rapidly transforming into an extra-tropical low. GPM showed the locations of intense rainfall still being produced by the low. GPM's Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) data showed that rain was falling at a rate of over 205 mm (8 inches) in a few storms. GPM's radar (DPR Ku Band) found that some storm tops in the remnants were reaching heights above 13 km (8 miles). GPM satellite radar (DPR Ku Band) data were

Tropical cyclone Enawo is now responsible for the deaths of at least five people in Madagascar. Many thousands of people were also displaced due to flooding and destroyed homes. The tropical cyclone dropped heavy rainfall as it soaked the island from north to south. This rainfall analysis was updated to include recent precipitation estimates from NASA's Integrated Multi-satelliE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) rainfall data. It shows rainfall estimates from IMERG data collected during the period from March 3-10, 2017. As expected, the eastern side of Madagascar had the highest rainfall total

The algorithm for the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) Early and Late Runs has now been upgraded to Version 04. The transition to V04 began at 15 UTC on March 13 and both the early and the late products were back to their target latency by 01:00 UTC, March 14. The transition took longer than planned but the core IMERG version 04 products are now running automatically as the original V03. The product version is V04A and you will see this in the name of the IMERG HDF5 products. For IMERG late the V03 products have remained before February 05, 2017. For IMERG early V03

Tropical cyclone Enawo hit Madagascar on Tuesday with powerful winds and drenching rain. At least three people have been reported killed by the tropical cyclone. Floods and landslides are likely as Enawo moves southward down the center of Madagascar. Tropical cyclones rotate in a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere so the eastern side of Madagascar will have a strong onshore flow. The extreme amount of moisture flowing onto Madagascar from the Indian Ocean is expected to produce flooding and landslides. NASA's Integrated Multi-satelliE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data are produced

Rainfall from spring-like downpours in the U.S. from February 25 to March 1 were analyzed at NASA using data from the Global Precipitation Measurement mission or GPM satellite. This GPM rainfall image combined with infrared cloud data from NOAA's GOES-West satellite shows the line of storms that stretched from Pennsylvania to Alabama on March 1, 2017. Red areas indicate rainfall up to 50 mm per hour. Record breaking warm temperatures this winter have caused plants to bloom early in the eastern United States. Unfortunately this has also resulted in the formation of spring-like severe
