"Nejsmutnějším aspektem života v současné době je to, že věda shromažďuje poznatky rychleji, než společnost shromažďuje moudrost."

NASA See Birth of Tropical Cyclone 5B in Bay of Bengal
The fifth tropical cyclone of the Northern Indian Ocean season formed in the Bay of Bengal as NASA's Terra satellite passed overhead and captured an image of the storm. When Terra passed over Tropical Cyclone 5B on Nov. 6 at 05:05 UTC (12:05 a.m. EST), the MODIS instrument aboard took a visible image of the storm. The MODIS image showed a concentrated storm with strong thunderstorms circling tight around the center and in the northeastern quadrant. By 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST), Tropical Cyclone 5B was located near 13.4 north latitude and 87.9 east longitude. That's about 380 nautical miles (437.3 miles/703.8 km) southeast of Visakhapatnam, India. Tropical Cyclone 5B had maximum sustained winds near 35 knots (40.2 mph/64.8 kph). It was moving slowly to the south-southeast. Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center said that an upper-level (atmospheric) analysis indicates the system remains in a generally favorable environment with moderate vertical wind shear and good outflow. Additionally, sea surface temperatures are relatively high in this region, which will help it maintain strength and slightly intensify over the next two days. JWTC forecasters expect Tropical Cyclone 5B to make landfall near Chennai on Nov. 9 and dissipate over land quickly

NASA Sees Tropical Storm Nuri Resemble a Frontal System
NASA's Terra satellite passed over Tropical Storm Nuri on Nov. at captured an infrared picture of the storm. The storm looked more like a frontal system as it stretched from northeast to southwest. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA's Terra satellite flew over Nuri on Nov. 6 at 1240 UTC (7:40 a.m. EST). The MODIS image showed some strong thunderstorms remaining in a small area around Nuri's center, but the storm appeared stretched out from northeast to southwest. Wind shear was affecting the storm, stretching it out. The last bulletin on the storm was issued on Nov. 6 at 0300 UTC (Nov. 5 at 10 p.m. EST). At that time, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) noted that Nuri still had maximum sustained winds near 55 knots (63.2 mph/102 kph). It was located about 130 nautical miles (149 miles/240 km) west-northwest of Chichi-jima, near 29.2 north latitude and 141.0 east longitude. Nuri was moving to the northeast and over open waters of the western North Pacific. In its final bulletin, JWTC noted that Nuri will become an extra-tropical storm before the end of the day on Nov. 6. Computer models indicate the system will be a strong extra-tropical low pressure area as it continues to move over open waters.
