00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:03,030
My name is Dalia Kirschbaum at Goddard Space Flight Center

2
00:00:03,030 --> 00:00:06,050
and imagine if you could see inside a hurricane. 

3
00:00:06,050 --> 00:00:09,060
Well now we can.  The Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM)

4
00:00:09,060 --> 00:00:12,090
core observatory has an instrument that can see 

5
00:00:12,090 --> 00:00:14,290
layer by layer through the storm.

6
00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:17,490
Here we see Hurricane Joaquin when it was a tropical storm.

7
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:20,550
You see heavy rain shown in red to green and you can even see ice and snow

8
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:21,570
spreading out on top.

9
00:00:21,570 --> 00:00:24,580
Now this is really important for forecast centers

10
00:00:24,580 --> 00:00:27,610
around the world to understand hurricane structure

11
00:00:27,610 --> 00:00:28,640
and where it might be going.

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,670
