Paul in 3-D from NASA's TRMM Satellite

Caption

This 3-D perspective of Paul at 9:08 UTC on March 28 was created from TRMM's Precipitation Radar. The most prominent feature is a deep convective tower (shown in red), which penetrates up to 9 miles (15 km) high. This corresponds with an area of intense rain in the northwestern eyewall.
