Front Cover. Color composited image of hurricane Floyd on 9 September 1999, passing north ofDominica as seen by the TRMM satellite. Wide swath shows the cloud field as seen by the 11 micronchannel on the Visible and \nf rared Sensor (VIRS) with cold clouds showing up whiter. The inner swathcontains data from the TRMM Precipitation Radarshowing reflectivities atthe closest range gate tothe surface. The vertical structure of cross-sections A-F3 and C-D are shown in the inserts. The samereflectivity table is used. The TRMM mission has overflown at least 100 tropical cyclones since itslaunch in November of 1997.
