Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Typhoon Choi-wan had clearly degraded significantly by the time the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image on September 18, 2009. Though the storm maintains its tightly wound symmetric shape, the striking clear eye is gone. The storm has a cloudy eye in this image.
At the time the image was taken, 1:15 UTC or 10:15 a.m. in Japan immediately north of the storm, Choi-wan was a Category 3 typhoon. It was no longer a super typhoon, a name reserved for strong Category 4 and 5 storms. Choi-wan had winds of about 200 kilometers per hour (125 miles per hour or 110 knots), said the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The storm was forecast to continue to weaken as it moved northeast. |
