TRMM TMI Quick Look Images, subsetted at Dartmouth from global mosaics prepared by Chris Kidd, NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center
Comments:
Heavy rainfall began along the eastern U.S. coastline as Hurricane Floyd approached and then made landfall 9/15. Northward passage of the storm, which brought flooding as far north as New Jersey and New York, is recorded by TRMM TMI data for 9/16. A tropical disturbance from the Gulf of Mexico then brought renewed heavy rain on 9/20 to the Carolinas; this was followed in North Carolina by heavy rain due to the passage of a front 9/22 and then a subsequent tropical disturbance 9/26-9/27. The severity of flooding in North Carolina was related to the cumulative effects of precipitation inputs from Floyd and these three storms that immediately followed.
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)

Maps are subsetted at Dartmouth from NOAA's Hydrologic Information Center internet location (today's version only is posted there): http://www.nws.noaa.gov/oh/hic/current/river_flooding/graphicsum.gif
Yellow: 0-5 ft above flood stage; Red: 5-10 ft above flood stage; black stars: > 10 ft above flood stage.
