Summary
[edit]DescriptionGael Feb 4 2009 0635Z.jpg |
English: Tropical Cyclone Gael in the southern Indian Ocean was captured in this natural-color image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite on February 4, 2009. The storm has the appearance of a nautilus: a tight ball of clouds (lower right) with “ridges” of clouds streaking out in rays from the core of the storm. The clockwise spiral of winds flowing into the storm (the typical pattern for Southern Hemisphere cyclones) is not dramatic, suggesting the system is not particularly well organized. The small island of Mauritius is located at bottom of the image, left of center. The storm was headed west-southwest toward Madagascar when this image was captured at 6:35 a.m. local time in Mauritius. |
