English: Though Super Typhoon Choi-wan was gradually weakening, it maintained its tight circular shape and well-defined eye on September 17, 2009, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image. The storm was tracking northeast over the Pacific Ocean, well away from land. The image was acquired at 1:40 p.m. local time, when Choi-wan had sustained winds between 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles per hour or 135 knots) and 240 km/hr (150 mph or 130 knots), according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Choi-wan was a Category 4 super typhoon in this image. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center forecast that the storm would continue to degrade as it moved northeast over the Pacific Ocean. |
