NASA 3-D Look at Tropical Storm Sanvu

Caption

On May 23, the TRMM passed over Sanvu again and captured more data. The 3-D image created from TRMM PR data revealed that an eye was almost formed indicating that Sanvu may soon be a typhoon. Several towers in the forming eye wall extend to heights above 16 km (~9.94 miles).
