[edit] Summary
| Description |
Typhoon Mawar is posing photogenically in this satellite image. The storm was far out in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, some 900 kilometers from Tokyo. It was traveling in parallel with Tropical Cyclone Guchol, both headed roughly northwest at comparable speeds. Mawar, however, will strike mainland Japan on its projected course, and will have built to a Category 4 storm with sustained winds of over 320 kilometers per hour (200 miles per hour) as it strikes shore around August 25. Guchol, however, will never come close to shore if current projections are correct, and will remain a substantially weaker system with peak winds less than half the speed of Typhoon Mawar. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image at 10:10 a.m. local time, on August 22, 2005. At this time, Mawar had peak winds around 200 km/hr (125 mph). This image was cropped from a larger image depicting both Mawar and Guchol. |
