Title:
Urban Modifications of Rainfall, Georgia
Instrument:
TRMM/PR
Description:
Atlanta, Georgia, showing the rainfall southeast of the city in blue.
Abstract:
Using the world's first space-based rain radar aboard NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, NASA scientists found that mean monthly rainfall rates within 30-60 kilometers (18 to 36 miles) downwind of some cities were, on average, about 28 percent greater than the upwind region. In some cities, the downwind area exhibited increases as high as 51 percent.
