Summary
[edit]DescriptionTropical Cyclone Shaheen (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 3 October at 5:55 UTC, shows Tropical Cyclone Shaheen just north of Muscat, Oman. Shaheen is the first storm to enter the Gulf of Oman in the second half of 2021. At the time of image acquisition, the cyclone was about to make landfall in Oman with wind speeds of up to 110 km/h, whilst severe floods were forecasted by the India Meteorological Department. Two hundred to 500 mm of rain were forecast in an area that normally averages 75-100 mm of rain per year! According to the meteorological team at the Washington Post, it is the first Tropical Cyclone to make landfall in Oman in the satellite era (since the 1960s) and this had only happened only twice prior to that. Data from Copernicus satellite missions allow the monitoring of hurricanes and cyclones globally. |
