A NASA 3-D Look at Tropical Storm Daniel

Caption

TRMM passed over Daniel on July 11, 2012, at 0857 UTC. Surface rainfall near the storm's center was light to moderate (0.78 to 1.57 inches/20 to 40 mm/hr), appearing in yellow, blue and green. A few strong thunderstorms near Daniel's center of circulation were reaching to heights of over 11km (~6.8 miles). Radar reflectivity values of almost 42 dBZ were being returned to TRMM PR indicating that moderate to heavy rainfall (red) was occurring in that area.
