IMERG Data on Chan-hom

Caption

On Oct. 9 at 4:30 a.m. EDT (0830 UTC), NASA's IMERG estimated Chan-hom was generating as much as 30 mm inches of rain (1.18  [dark pink]) just northeast of the center of circulation. Rainfall rates in storms surrounding those areas of heaviest (yellow and green colors) rainfall, were estimated to be falling at a rate between 5 and 15 mm (0.2 to 0.6 inches) per hour. On the southwestern side of the center, rainfall rates were occurring between 0.1 and 1 mm (0.003 and 0.03 inches) per hour. The rainfall data was overlaid on infrared imagery from NOAA's GOES-16 satellite.
