TRMM TMI Quick Look Images, subsetted at Dartmouth from global mosaics prepared by Chris Kidd, NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center
Comments:
Unusually heavy rainfall in the two weeks prior to September 14 caused widespread flooding in Niger and parts of northen Ghana and Burkino Faso. TRMM TMI data show isolated but intense rainfall events in the region on 9/2-9/4; 9/6-9/8; 9/11; and 9/13-9/14. A very widespread high intensity rain occurred over Niger on especially the last day and may have been the proximal cause of the reported flooding.
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)
