IMERG/MRMS for Hurricane Isaias
Comparisons of rain rates from IMERG and MRMS during Hurricane Isaias
Hurricane Isaias, a costly Category 1 hurricane, made landfall on North Andros, Bahamas and subsequently weakened to a tropical
storm. As Isaias approached the Carolina coastline, it reintensified back into a hurricane.
This study compares the hurricane rain rates (Aug 1-4, 2020) from ground-radar-based MRMS and satellite-based
IMERG_Early, Late products over the area (25-50N, 90-65W).
