Very Impressive Images from CIMSS
Posted by JAC on 10/19/2010, 6:36 am



MTSAT-1R 0.68 m visible channel images (above) tracked the eye of Super Typhoon Megi making landfall across the northern portion of the island of Luzon in the Philippines on 17-18 October 2010.

The Morphed Integrated Microwave Imagery at CIMSS (MIMIC) product (below) showed the well-defined eye of Megi prior to making landfall, along with the effect that the rugged terrain of Luzon had on the typhoon before it later emerged into the South China Sea.







A Terra MODIS 11.0 m IR image (below; zoomed-in version) revealed the eye and surrounding eyewall structure of Megi at 02:30 UTC on 19 October - the coldest IR brightness temperature seen at that time was -82 C (purple color enhancement) to the south of the eye.
