The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Anika as it was strengthening over the Timor Sea on February 25.
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: On February 25, 2022, a tropical cyclone formed from a depression in the Timor Sea. Initially given the title of 15S, the system quickly intensified and was named Tropical Cyclone Anika. On February 26, Anika made landfall over Western Australia, carrying maximum sustained winds of about 102 km/h (63 mph) and gusts of up to 120 km/h (74.6 mph). Those wind speeds placed it as a tropical cyclone on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale and a Category 1 storm on the Australian Tropical Cyclone Intensity Scale.
At 9:01 AWST on February 27 (8:00 p.m. EST on February 26), the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) reported that Tropical Cyclone Anika was over the North Kimberly with an intensity near the center of 75 km/h (46.6 mph) and gusts of 100 km/h (62 mph). It was located about 10 km (6.2 mi) south-southwest of Kalumburu and 255 km (158.5 mi) east-northeast of Kuri Bay. It is expected to weaken to a tropical low before moving back off the Western Australia coast and into Kuri Bay on February 28. After that time, Anika may restrengthen. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Tropical Cyclone Anika as it was strengthening over the Timor Sea on February 25. The poorly-consolidated storm sported a cloud-filled center and was located north of Kalumburu, Western Australia and northwest of Darwin, Northern Territory. |
