Sanvu: Incandescent Typhoon View (VIDEO)

NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

Caption

This animation of Typhoon Sanvu was created from 3-D images of TRMM satellite data during the week of May 21, 2012, as the storm moved through the western North Pacific Ocean. This video takes the TRMM data, which shows rainfall intensity within Sanvu, and applies additional processing. While there is no scientific value to this processing, it does result in a new way of looking at the data.
