North American Monsoon

The monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind pattern that occurs all over the world. Through NASA satellites and models we can see the monsoon patterns like never before. Monsoon rains provide important reservoirs of water that sustain human activities like agriculture and supports the natural environment through replenishment of aquifers. This visualization uses NASA precipitation and soil moisture data to show how the monsoon develops over North America.
