Global precipitation, satellite map

Videonummer 11944782
Global precipitation. Global map based on satellite data, showing the precipitation (falling rain and snow) that occurs around the globe as tracked in real time. The blue-purple (low-high) colours are frozen precipitation (snow). The green-yellow-red (low-high) colours are liquid precipitation (rain). This is the source of fresh water on which all life depends. The heaviest precipitation is found in the persistent band near the Equator, known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Also seen are the tight swirls of tropical storms (including hurricanes and typhoons). Persistent dry areas associated with subtropical high pressure centres occur over major deserts and the oceans. At midlatitudes, the storm tracks display the swirls of low pressure systems and bands of frontal precipitation. This dataset is from NASA's IMERG (Integrated multi-satellite retrievals for GPM [Global Precipitation Measurement]) dataset. The information is from satellite microwave and radar sensors, plus geo-IR (infrared sensors on geostationary satellites). Observations are obtained about every three hours, and estimates computed every half hour.
