From the newly-installed instrument on the ISS. The instrument still has a month or two of calibration before becoming fully operational.

Re: First RapidSCAT Images Released
Very nice! Are they going to make the information public once it is fully in operation?

Definately good news, makes me wonder how many may lower-end storms have been missed or underestimated in intensity with the wide gaps in the ASCAT over the last few years.
