NASA | GPM Gets a Ton of Kilo

The video discusses the long-lived storm Kilo, which transitioned from a hurricane to a typhoon as it crossed the date line. The GSM Corp observatory captured multiple overpasses, providing valuable data on the storm's life cycle, including the eyewall replacement process. This highlights the importance of satellite data in studying remote storms in the Pacific.
