(1) 7 Day Precipitation History

TRMM TMI Quick Look Images, subsetted at Dartmouth from global mosaics prepared by Chris Kidd, NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center

Comments:

Heavy rainfall on 9/11 caused widespread flooding in Manilla and surrounding areas beginning on that day and for several days after. TRMM TMI data for 9/8-9/11 show a high-intensity rainfall storm approaching from the east and centered over Manilla on 9/10. By 9/11 the storm was moving northward and offshore.

In these images:

Rainfall and snowfall: yellow and white areas (yellowish white is highest intensity precipitation)

Oceans: light blue (low water vapour) to dark blue (high water vapour)
