The Story of a Storm – Part 1: Visualising Climate Data with NASA’s Giovanni Tool

This guide (Part 1 of 2) shows how to transform raw climate data—specifically NASA GPM precipitation datasets via the Giovanni platform—into time series, animated, and accumulated rainfall visualizations using Cyclone Kenneth as a case study, and how to export outputs (including KMZ) for contextual mapping in Google Earth Pro; Part 2 will address integrating open-source conflict incident data for combined analysis.
