NASA's IMERG calculated rainfall of Tropical Cyclone 03S
NASA's IMERG rainfall product provided an analysis during the period from Jan. 24 to 26, 2017.. Rainfall totals of close to 300 mm (11.8 inches) were estimated along Australia's northwest coast. Credits: NASA/JAXA, Hal Pierce
Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) data were used to show rainfall that fell near tropical cyclone 03S.
The highest rainfall totals were found by IMERG as the parent low pressure center moved over northwestern Australia during the period from January 24 to 26, 2017.
GPM is the Global Precipitation Measurement mission core satellite. GPM is a joint mission between NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA.
Tropical cyclone 03S formed from the low only after moving into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean on January 27, 2017.
IMERG data were used to analyze rainfall that occurred near the parent low and tropical cyclone 03S' centers of circulation. Rainfall totals of close to 300 mm (11.8 inches) were estimated along Australia's northwest coast.
