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
