This portal is designed for viewing and studying hurricanes by utilizing measurements and data produced by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) remote-sensing instruments. Users can access current conditions information from NASA satellites (TRMM, AIRS, etc.), event-based information (maps and profiles) on active tropical storms or hurricanes, articles on the use of NASA data in hurricane monitoring and research, and archived maps and profiles from past storms. The Hurricane Viewer allows users to animate a hurricane path, showing levels of intensity and atmospheric information occuring at the time of the event. There are also 3-hour rainfall total images generated in near-real time for the Atlantic and Gulf regions by the Giovanni analysis tool.
