Tropical Cyclone Imelda (Southern Indian Ocean)

NASA Sees Cyclone Imelda Getting Wound Up NASA's Aqua satellite passed over Tropical Storm Imelda on April 8 at 0605 UTC (2:05 a.m. EDT). The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard Aqua captured a visible image of Tropical Cyclone Imelda becoming more tightly wound in the Southern Indian Ocean. Credit: NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team Tropical Cyclone Imelda is churning in the open waters of the Southern Indian Ocean and NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of the storm that showed bands of thunderstorms were wrapping tightly into the center of circulation. On Friday, April 5, Imelda was a low pressure area designated "93S" that appeared ripe for development on NASA satellite imagery. On Saturday, April 6, 93S consolidated and became a tropical depression. Now, that depression has strengthened into a tropical storm, and is expected to continue strengthening to hurricane-force. When NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite passed over Imelda on April 8 at 0408 UTC (12:08 a.m. EDT) it revealed low-level bands of thunderstorms over the western semicircle, while northeast of the center, the bands of thunderstorms were fragmented and weak. Since then, those bands have organized. NASA's Aqua satellite passed over the low pressure area on April 8 at 0605 UTC (2:05 a.m. EDT) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument captured a visible image of Tropical Cyclone Imelda in the Southern Indian Ocean. MODIS imagery showed a large band of thunderstorms wrapping into the center of circulation from the south. That band of thunderstorms has been slowly consolidating over the 12 hours previous. On April 8 at 0900 UTC (5 a.m. EDT) Imelda had maximum sustained winds near 40 knots (46.0 mph/74.0 kph). Imelda was centered near 11.0 south latitude and 64.7 east longitude, about 490 nautical miles west-southwest of Diego Garcia and moving to the west at 12 knots (13.8 mph/22.2 kph). Diego Garcia is an atoll in the shape of a footprint that is made up of coral. It is located south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean, in British Indian Ocean Territory.Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) noted that the easterly vertical wind shear has relaxed slightly to 10 to 15 knots (11.5 to 17.2 mph/18.5 to 27.8 kph). JTWC forecasters expect Imelda to continue tracking west southwestward for the next two days and strengthen.

NASA Sees Tropical Cyclone Victoria Born in Southern Indian Ocean

NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of newborn Tropical Cyclone Victoria on April 9 when it passed over the Southern Indian Ocean and it revealed powerful thunderstorms had developed in two areas of the storm. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured the image on April 9 at 0622 UTC (2:22 a.m. EDT). The visible image showed powerful thunderstorms over the center of circulation. Powerful thunderstorms were also visible in a band wrapping into the low-level center of circulation from the eastern side of the storm. At 1500 UTC (11 a.m. EDT) on April 9, Victoria had maximum sustained winds near 45 knots (51. 7 mph/83.3 kph). Victoria was center near 13.3 south latitude and 102.4 east longitude, about 330 nautical miles (380 miles/611 km) east-southeast of the Cocos Islands and over the open waters of the Southern Indian Ocean. The Cocos Islands is a territory of Australia. They are also called the Cocos Islands and Keeling Islands, located southwest of Christmas Island and about halfway between Australia and Sri Lanka.Cyclone Victoria is expected to move in a southerly direction, moving parallel to the coast of Western Australia over the next week. Victoria is currently moving south at 10 knots (11.5 mph/18.5 kph).Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center expect Victoria to strengthen to around 60 knots before wind shear and cooler waters weaken the storm again


Monitorovací bod pro vstup dat do IS

Na střeše pracoviště je umístěn od čtvrtka 4.4.2013 měřící bod. Je zde umístěna jednotka pro měření teploty a vlhkosti vzduchu, dále je měřena intenzita srážek a je měřen směr a rychlost větru. Zařízení dále měří relativní hodnotu tlaku vzduchu. Přenos jednotlivých signálů je přenášen bezdrátovým systémem do sběrací konzoly. Data jsou následně přenášena do počítače.
