Hurricane Beryl via TROPICS
Animation starts with the orbiting constellation of satellites known as TROPICS. As soon as Hurricane Beryl appears, the camera zooms in closer to watch the storm develop as the TROPICS satellites capture the evolving storm with each swath pass.
The TROPICS constellation of cubesats provides NASA scientists with a new way to investigate hurricanes. By flying as a constellation, these mini-satellites can pass over weather phenomenon more frequently giving scientists deeper insights into storm formation and development. This data visualization was created using early results from TROPICS channel 1 as we follow Hurricane Beryl throughout the majority of its life cycle.
