Super Typhoon Noru At 1:15 p.m. Japan Standard Time (04:15 Universal Time) on July 31, 2017, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite observed Super #Typhoon Noru over the western tropical Pacific Ocean. The wide view (above) shows the breadth of the storm; the second image (below) shows the details within its eye. At the time, the center of Noru was located about 250 kilometers southwest of Iwo Jima. Maximum sustained winds measured 240 kilometers (150 miles) per hour, making it the equivalent of a category 4 storm. The typhoon had weakened somewhat since July 30, when it briefly became a category 5 storm—the strongest so far in 2017 in the northern hemisphere. Some forecasts suggest that Noru could ultimately head toward mainland Japan, but not for several days. Noru has produced some beautiful examples of typhoon structure, as revealed in a range of satellite images. Dynamic features in the eye, for example, are typical of a strong storm, according to Scott Braun, a research meteorologist at NASA Goddard. “We’ve seen this sort of structure in other storms with large eyes,” he said. But even if the storm and its structure are not unusual, we can still appreciate the striking imagery. https://go.nasa.gov/2u0wySd @nasa #nasaearth #supertyphoon #typhoonnoru

В течении нескольких дней тайфун, по прогнозам метеорологов, достигнет островов Амами, после чего будет продвигаться к острову Кюсю и Корейскому полуострову.

台風５号の進路が、きのうの予想より西寄りになりました。金曜日には沖縄や九州の近海まで進む見通しです。日曜日の予報円には沖縄から西日本にかけての広い範囲が入っています。台風対策はあす、あさってのうちに！ pic.twitter.com/wrsNbS5xV7
