Gabrielle

Tropical Storm Gabrielle passed close to Bermuda on Wednesday and has now moved out of the TRMM satellite's coverage area (40N-40S). Tropical depression Gabrielle is currently moving over the open waters of the North-Atlantic toward Newfoundland and is predicted to be absorbed by a front tomorrow. A red tropical storm symbol shows the location of Gabrielle's nearly rain free center when TRMM passed above on Thursday September 12, 2013 at 2249 UTC (6:49 PM EDT).

Tropical storm Gabrielle was at a distance of about 50km (~31 miles) to the south-southwest of Bermuda on September 11, 2013 at 0041 (September 10, 2013 8:41 PM EDT) when the TRMM satellite flew above. A rainfall analysis from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) is shown overlaid on an enhanced infrared image from the satellite's Visible and InfraRed Scanner (VIRS). A band of light to moderate rainfall extends to Bermuda from a large area of heavy rainfall in the eastern side of Gabrielle.

The TRMM satellite flew directly above tropical storm Gabrielle on September 10, 2013 at 2124 UTC (5:24 PM EDT) as the storm approached Bermuda. TRMM's Precipitation Radar (PR) data found that rain was falling at a rate of over 127mm/hr (~5 inches) in a line of intense storms southeast of Bermuda. TRMM PR also found that the tallest thunderstorms, reaching to heights above 15.5km (~9.6 miles), were located in an area close to Gabrielle's center of circulation.

Tropical storm Gabrielle dissipated to below tropical depression intensity on September 5, 2013. Gabrielle has regenerated and was again classified this morning as a tropical storm by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). This image shows a rainfall analysis using TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data collected by two orbits of the satellite. The earlier orbit was on September 10, 2013 at 0136 UTC and the second orbit occurred at 0313 UTC. The heaviest rain, falling at a rate of 54mm/hr (~2.1 inches), was found by TRMM PR in a feeder band spiraling into Gabrielle from

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) upgraded a low pressure center south of Puerto Rico to tropical depression number seven on September 4, 2013 at 2100 UTC (5:00 PM EDT). The tropical depression was then again upgraded to tropical storm Gabrielle on September 5, 2013 at 0300 UTC (September 4, 2013 11 PM EDT). Gabrielle was subsequently downgraded today to a tropical depression at 1500 UTC (11 AM EDT). The TRMM satellite's Microwave Imager (TMI) had a fairly good look at tropical storm Gabrielle very early this morning at 0614 UTC (2:14 AM EDT). TRMM's TMI found rain falling at a rate of over
