NASA 3-D View of Hurricane Daniel in Eastern Pacific

Caption

TRMM's Precipitation Radar data show a 3-D view of Daniel (looking from the west). This view shows that very little rainfall was present in the western side. This image also shows that most of Daniel's structure was at lower levels. A few of the most powerful storms in the eastern side of Daniel's eye wall reached to heights of about 11 km (~6.8 miles).
