IMERG Video of Harold (VIDEO)
Caption
This animation shows the heavy precipitation associated with Tropical Cyclone Harold as it progresses from the Solomon Islands (upper left) on April 2, 2020 to its movement beyond the island of Tonga on April 8 (lower right). Harold's core region produced precipitation rates in excess of 30 millimeters per hour, which is equivalent to a 7-inch-deep rain accumulation if the core region were to remain over a given location for 6 hours. The precipitation estimates in this animation come from the IMERG multi-satellite algorithm developed by NASA and run in near real-time.
