Taiwan experienced a landfall and a soaking from Typhoon Fanapi, and NASA and JAXA’s TRMM satellite noted a large area of very heavy rain in the system before it made landfall this weekend. NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites also captured impressi…
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS, is an instrument that flies on NASA’s Aqua and Terra satellites and provides incredible views of tropical cyclones like Hurricane Igor, from its vantage point in space. Imagery from the…
Infrared satellite data from NASA’s Aqua satellite revealed strong convection and a tight circulation center within Typhoon Fanapi as it heads for a landfall in Taiwan this weekend.
