Quick look Atlantic Ocean rain maps for galeA set of quick look maps of Atlantic Ocean rainfall were made. The maps are based entirely on information extracted from geostationary satellite images.

Each map covers one day. Rainfall is contoured in units of millimeters. Rainfall was estimated by the Arkin technique.
