Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: After passing close to the west coast of Taiwan, Tropical Storm Sanba was making landfall on the island of province of Hainan, China on October 19, 2023, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired this true-color image. It was carrying maximum sustained winds of about 45 mph (72.5 km/h) and was bringing rain, gusty winds, and storm surge to parts of China, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
After landfall, the storm oscillated in the Gulf of Tonkin, according to Colorado State University’s Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA). By 11:00 p.m. EDT on October 19 (0300 UTC on October 20) the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JWTC) advised that Sanba was located about 227 miles (365 km) east of Hanoi, Vietnam and carrying maximum sustained winds of about 29 mph (46.7 km/h). The JTWC advisory also stated, “visible imagery depicts an increasingly chaotic scene over the past six hours as Tropical Storm Sanba came ashore and stretched out with the upper-level circulation moving northeastward, while the low-level circulation (LLCC) stalled”. The forecast calls for a southerly or southwesterly turn of the remnant of the low-level circulation, resulting in dissipation of the remnants of Tropical Storm Sanba over the Gulf of Tonkin within 24 hours. |
