Summary
| Description |
English: Cyclone Hondo was a powerful Category 4 storm when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this photo-like image on the afternoon of February 7, 2008. The storm’s power is evident in its symmetric shape and well-defined eye. When MODIS took the image at 7:55 UTC, Hondo had winds of 220 kilometers per hour (140 miles per hour or 120 knots) with gusts to 270 km/hr (170 mph or 145 knots), said the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. The storm was traveling southeast across the southern Indian Ocean, far from any populated region.
Deutsch: Zyklon Hondo war ein kraftvoller Kategorie-4-Wirbelsturm, als das Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) auf dem Aqua-Satelliten der NASA am Nachmittag des 7. Februar 2008 dieses photoähnliche Bild aufnahm. Die Kraft des Sturmes ist eindeutig erkennbar in dessen symmetrischer Struktur und dem gut definierten Auge. Als MODIS um 7:55 UTC dieses Bild aufnahm, erreichte Hondo Windgeschwindigkeiten von 220 km/h und erreichte in Böen 270 km/h, sagte das Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Der Sturm zog in ¨sudöstlicher Richtung über den südwestlichen Indischen Ozean, fernab von bewohnten Gegenden. |
