My name is Dalia Kirschbaum at Goddard Space Flight Center
and imagine if you could see inside a hurricane.
Well now we can. The Global Precipitation Measurement Mission (GPM)
core observatory has an instrument that can see
layer by layer through the storm.
Here we see Hurricane Joaquin when it was a tropical storm.
You see heavy rain shown in red to green and you can even see ice and snow
spreading out on top.
Now this is really important for forecast centers
around the world to understand hurricane structure
and where it might be going.
