The image shows a true-color/natural color corrected reflectance image with the IMERG Precipitation Rate layer overlaid showing heavy rains over Texas on August 22, 2022. The base image was acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard the joint NASA/NOAA NOAA-20 satellite. The Integrated Multi-satelliE Retrievals for Global Precipitation Measurement (IMERG) overlay shows the Precipitation Rate; areas with red/orange color are heavier rates of rain.
