There are some rare events than a tropical cyclone formed east of the 180° East longitude, over the central Pacific, and travel westward into the western Pacific and continue as typhoons. By combining NASA precipitation estimates with other data sources, we can gain a greater understanding of major storms that affect our planet. Chan-hom has the potential to be the strongest typhoon to make landfall within 200 miles of Shanghai in at least 35 years, according to Jeff Masters of wunderground.com. At 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) on Oct. 5, Chan-hom was centered near latitude 23.0 degrees north and longitude 139.2 degrees east. Chan-hom is expected to bring rainfall to Japan on its track through the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Chan-hom was moving to the north-northeast. Estimating Chan-hom’s Rainfall Rates from Space. NASA’s expertise in space and scientific exploration contributes to essential services provided to the American people by other federal agencies, such as hurricane weather forecasting. Still, torrential rain will remain and the amount of rain could locally reach 400-500 mm. This should happen by early next week. In three days, the system is expected to become fully embedded in the westerly wind flow aloft. Chan-hom’s Forecast The Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted, “Chan-hom is forecast to track generally northwestward along the southwestern periphery of a sub-tropical ridge (elongated area of high pressure) over the next three days. Typhoon Chan-hom was south of Japan's Shikoku island on Friday afternoon with maximum winds of 126 kilometres (78 miles) per hour, the Meteorological Agency said. TOKYO -- Japan's weather agency is calling for residents to be vigilant against powerful winds, high tides and landslides as strong Typhoon Chan-hom approaches east of the country's archipelago. Information morphing is particularly important over the majority of the world’s surface that lacks ground-radar coverage. With the north turn now, the system will also avoid the direct hit to the Ryukyu Islands, it is moving to the east of the Daitojima region of Okinawa Prefecture. NASA provides that data to forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center so they can incorporate it into their forecasting. IMERG fills in the blanks between weather observation stations. Right where Chan-hom will be moving. The storm is forecast to undergo transition into an extra-tropical storm over the next several days. Based on the Dvorak intensity analysis, Chan-hom is packing the maximum sustained winds around 90 knots (100 mph = 165 km/h) with a central pressure below 960 mbar. NASA Satellite View: Chan-hom’s Organization. Cloud top temperatures provide information to forecasters about where the strongest storms are located within a tropical cyclone. At the U.S. NASA brings together technology, science, and unique global Earth observations to provide societal benefits and strengthen our nation. Over the weekend, Chan-hom will transition into a powerful extratropical storm while rapidly ejecting towards the North Pacific. Japanese weather officials say a typhoon now situated over the Pacific just south of Japan will likely approach the … “Follow severe weather as it happens.

Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) in Honolulu, Hawaii noted that animated enhanced infrared satellite imagery showed the system is consolidating. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 knots (75 mph/120 kph) with higher gusts. 29-31 °C is spread across the whole western Pacific and also very warm to the south of Japan. Here is a sample forecast from today’s 12 UTC model run, during the Chan-hom approach on Saturday. Information morphing is particularly important over the majority of the world’s surface that lacks ground-radar coverage. Its 50-knots wind radii are now expanding 80-100 miles around the eye, while hurricane-force 64-knot winds are expanding across the 50 miles radii in all four quadrants. ADT estimates suggest the maximum sustained winds now are around 35 knots with the minimum central pressure near 997 mbar. Chan-hom will gradually weaken as it tracks generally east northeastward over the next day. JTWC expects Chan-hom to continue weakening over the next several days and begin transitioning to an extra-tropical storm. Typhoon Chan-hom is expected to develop into a strong tropical cyclone today (October 8), according to Japan's Meteorological Agency. Chan-Hom could be devastating for Kyushu Islands, Japan. The next 48 hours (through Tuesday and Wednesday) will be crucial for its strengthening. Since Wednesday, 584,5 mm of precipitation dropped on the island of Miyake and 550 mm was measured in Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, western Japan. Kanako Mita and Chika Mori . The ECMWF model is hinting a tremendous amount of rainfall possible – close to 900 mm across the northern Ryukyu islands over the next 10 days! The region typhoons form is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin. After Chan-Hom ejects off Japan, it transitions into an extratropical storm and accelerates towards the North Pacific. It is expected to become a typhoon soon, likely reaching a Category 2 strength by Thursday. Hurricanes/tropical cyclones are the most powerful weather events on Earth. Watches were posted for much of Japan’s southeastern and east central coasts. A dangerous situation is developing, as part of Japan could be severely hit by a violent wind, storm surge, and a tremendous amount of rain with flooding.

NASA Aids Disaster Response after Eta and Iota Hit Central America. Typhoon Chan-hom threatens to hit swathes of eastern and western Japan. A typhoon is a mature tropical cyclone, forming in the western Pacific (they normally develop between 100° and 180° East in the Northern Hemisphere) and heading towards Asia. At the surface, a pre-existing low-level wave or disturbance develops and moving through an environment with low vertical wind shear. On the southwestern side of the center, rainfall rates were occurring between 0.1 and 1 mm (0.003 and 0.03 inches) per hour. Attached graphics by Windy.com indicate that the ECMWF model is forecasting Chan-hom could become a violent typhoon while moving across the northern Ryukyu islands through Thursday and Friday. It is expected to peak at typhoon strength in two days before weakening again. NASA’s expertise in space and scientific exploration contributes to essential services provided to the American people by other federal agencies, such as hurricane weather forecasting. There is a ragged eye, surrounded by deep, explosive storms on the front-end (northeast and northwest) quadrants. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Chan-hom is the year’s 14th typhoon in the Western Pacific region. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 80 knots (92 mph/148 kph) with higher gusts. Typhoon Chan-hom, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Emong, is the sixth tropical depression and the second tropical storm to develop during the 2009 Pacific typhoon season. Oct. 08, 2020 – NASA Sees Typhoon Chan-hom Blanket Japan. Chan-hom is likely to begin a rapid intensification process sometime over the next 24-36 hours, as it is tracking across very favorable oceanic conditions. Precisely across the South China Sea, around Taiwan, and over the Sea of Okhotsk. Satellite imagery reveals an enhanced poleward outflow and good equatorward outflow, while the sea temperatures are very warm, near 28-29 degrees Celsius. Its center is forecast to pass just offshore from Tokyo on Oct. 12 as it moves in a northeasterly direction. Powerful thunderstorms circled the 30 nautical-mile wide eye. The AIRS instrument aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a look at those temperatures in Chan-hom and gave insight into the size of the storm and its rainfall potential. Warnings for heavy rainfall are in effect for Kyushu, the southernmost big island of Japan. For updated warnings from the Japan Meteorological Agency, visit: https://www.jma.go.jp/en/warn/. On Oct. 9 at 4:30 a.m. EDT (0830 UTC), NASA’s IMERG estimated Chan-hom was generating as much as 30 mm inches of rain (1.18 [dark pink]) just northeast of the center of circulation. Even stronger sea surface temperature anomaly is further north, roughly 2-3 °C above the long-term average. Typhoon Chan-hom should track across these extremely favorable oceanic conditions for the next 72 hours. Chan-hom’s center was located southeast of Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost big island, but the western quadrant of … Chan-hom is moving north and has maximum sustained winds of 35 knots (40 mph/64 kph). It is located approximately 552 nautical miles east-southeast of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. Chan-hom is forecast to track generally northwest for another 24 hours, then taking a more west-northwesterly route about a day. Maximum winds reached 198km/h with speeds of 144km/h near the storm’s center, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. There is a rough projection – the higher the cloud tops, the colder and the stronger tropical cyclones are. For more than five decades, NASA has used the vantage point of space to understand and explore our home planet, improve lives and safeguard our future. Based on the latest Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) analysis estimates, Chan-hom is gradually strengthening and becoming a strong tropical storm. JTWC noted there has been an improvement in the developing strong bands of thunderstorms wrapping into the low-level center. Additionally, maximum gusts in the range of 120-160 km/h will be possible, along with torrential rainfall (150-300 mm locally) and flooding threats. October 2020, the typhoon had a central atmospheric pressure of 970 hectopascals, maximum sustained winds of 126 km/h and wind gusts gusts of 180 km/h. Storms fueling the typhoon’s strength with these very hot, near-record values of ocean waters and moist mid-level atmosphere, should support further (rapid) intensification. There are also possibilities typhoon may completely miss Japan to its south, so the impact will be the most significant offshore. The JMA said Typhoon Chan-hom is expected to continue to develop and approach the Daito Islands in southern Okinawa Prefecture on Oct. 8, bringing a … The system is located in still-favorable oceanic conditions, so some additional strengthening is possible until Thursday evening, although it might already be very near its peak. Chan Hom brought a regional floods with rainfall up to 584,5 mm / 72 hours and severe wind gusts up to 140 km/h.. Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) expect Chan-hom to track northwestward to northward through the next two days and closer to Japan. When Chan-hom intensifies into a typhoon over the next day or so, it is expected to turn towards Japan. A wider satellite image reveals a frontal system is ejecting to the east of Japan, associated with the large extratropical storm centered over the Sea of Okhotsk. AIRS found coldest cloud top temperatures as cold as or colder than minus 63 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 53 degrees Celsius) around the center of circulation. On average, there are more than 26 tropical storms and typhoons every year. Chan-hom is rapidly gathering strength towards the typhoon status, over very warm Philippine Sea waters, located still quite far south of Japan. With more than 2,000 channels sensing different regions of the atmosphere, the system creates a global, three-dimensional map of atmospheric temperature and humidity, cloud amounts and heights, greenhouse gas concentrations and many other atmospheric phenomena. However, after roughly 30-36 hours, the typhoon will turn towards the northeast and its center will remain off Japan to its south. Typhoon Chan-Hom, known as Falcon in the Philippines, edged towards Japan’s southern islands on Thursday, July 9. For more information about NASA’s IMERG, visit: https://pmm.nasa.gov/gpm/imerg-global-image, By Rob Gutro Typhoon Chan-hom approached the southwestern Japanese islands in early October and made landfall in Okinawa prefecture on October 8th, It continued into Kagoshima Prefecture and Southern Kyushu, resulting in high winds up to 126 kilometers per hour , large waves up to 10 meters high, and mudslides. The storm, packing winds of up to around 116mph, is expected to bring heavy rains to wide areas of the country over the weekend. Soon after the pass over the Ryukyu islands, typhoon Chan-hom will likely begin weakening while heading towards Japan. The forecast track suggests its center will remain off Japan, but its effect will bring severe winds and rainfall/flooding threat to the country. Many of the available imagery layers are updated within three hours of observation, essentially showing the entire Earth as it looks “right now.”. Launched into Earth orbit in 2002, the AIRS and AMSU instruments fly aboard NASA’s Aqua spacecraft and are managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, under contract to NASA. Chan-hom does look like a mean typhoon. The powerful storm is expected to approach the southwestern part of the country sometime on Thursday and Friday this week. Credit: NASA/NOAA/NRLChan-hom’s Status on Oct. 9. Typhoon Chan-hom is now a strong typhoon, gradually turning towards mainland Japan on Thursday. About NASA’s Worldview and Terra Satellite, NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Worldview application provides the capability to interactively browse over 700 global, full-resolution satellite imagery layers and then download the underlying data. Rainfall rates in storms surrounding those areas of heaviest rainfall were estimated as falling at a rate between 5 and 15 mm (0.2 to 0.6 inches) per hour. A mean-looking typhoon Chan-hom will strike Japan with severe winds and heavy rainfall threat on Thursday . The attached MODIS infrared satellite scan reveals that the cloud tops temperatures are below -85 °C. Tropical cyclones/hurricanes are the most powerful weather events on Earth. That is approximately 413 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka, Japan. The storm has developed at the latitude 22 degrees north, which is a quite rare occurrence for October. This indicates the seas are extremely warm. Chan-hom’s center was located southeast of Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost big island, but the western quadrant of the storm had a large reach. One of the ways NASA researches tropical cyclones is using infrared data that provides temperature information. The other global model GFS is, however, hinting a less intense typhoon but still a very strong wind field. Typhoon Chan-hom is currently more than 2,000 miles away from Japan, nearing Guam on Thursday, but the island nation needs to pay increasingly close attention to this storm. AIRS, in conjunction with the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), senses emitted infrared and microwave radiation from Earth to provide a three-dimensional look at Earth’s weather and climate. At the U.S. As typically over the past years, the Western Pacific Ocean waters are very warm and locally even hot. Instead, what the IMERG does is “morph” high-quality satellite observations along the direction of the steering winds to deliver information about rain at times and places where such satellite overflights did not occur. NASA’s Terra satellite obtained visible imagery of Tropical Storm Chan-hom as it continued moving though the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Chan-hom is forecast to make a slow track paralleling the coast of Japan from Oct. 8 through the 11, when it is expected to affect Tokyo before heading out to open waters. NASA research has shown that cloud top temperatures that cold indicate strong storms that have the capability to create heavy rain. NASA’s Aqua satellite analyzed the large Tropical Storm Chan-hom as it tracked through the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Chan-hom formed from a tropical depression has now developed into a strong typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph. Its wind field is growing. Typhoon Chan-hom approaching Japan. Typhoon Chan-hom was churning near Japan's Ryuku Islands early Friday and is expected to hit eastern China on Saturday. Rainfall throughout most of the storm was estimated as falling at a rate between 5 and 15 mm (0.2 to 0.6 inches) per hour. Typhoon Chan-hom was still moving parallel to Japan’s east coast as NASA’s satellite rainfall product, that incorporates data from satellites and observations, showed its heaviest rainfall was pushed northeast of center. A NASA satellite rainfall product that incorporates data from satellites and observations found heavy rainfall occurring throughout Typhoon Chan-hom and the heaviest rainfall in the eyewall. First, bands of thunderstorms were wrapping into a partially exposed low-level circulation center. It will then also begin accelerating while grazing south of Japan and there are now increasing chances it will pass very near the capital Tokyo on Friday night into Saturday morning. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Terra satellite captured a visible image of Chan-hom on Oct. 8. NASA’s Terra satellite is one in a fleet of NASA satellites that provide data for hurricane research. NASA’s Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM or IMERG, which is a NASA satellite rainfall product, estimated on Oct. 7 at 2 a.m. EDT (0600 UTC), Chan-hom was generating as much as 30 mm (1.18 inches) of rain per hour falling in the ragged eyewall that surrounds the eye. Owase, Mie Prefecture Typhoon Chan-hom, the season's 14th, is expected to come closest to the south of the Izu Islands by Sunday morning, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. The imagery revealed that the center of circulation was exposed and its strongest storms were south of the center. Posted on Published: 07/10/2020 By: Author Marko Korosec. Advancing knowledge of our home planet contributes directly to America’s leadership in space and scientific exploration. NASA’s Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM or IMERG, which is a NASA satellite rainfall product, estimated Chan-hom’s rainfall rates on Oct. 9 at 4:30 a.m. EDT (0830 UTC). The stronger the storms, the higher they extend into the troposphere, and the colder the cloud top temperatures. Hurricanes and Typhoons are the most powerful tropical weather events on Earth. Typhoon Chan Hom is likely to approach southwestern Japanese islands on Thursday and will be continue in its movement on parabolic track along southeastern coast of Japan until Monday, 11.October 2020.. On Wednesday, 7. Second, there was building convection and thunderstorms occurring over the southern quadrant of the storm, giving it an appearance of a backwards letter “C” on satellite imagery. Typhoon Chan-hom, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Falcon, was a large, powerful and long-lived tropical cyclone that affected most countries in the western Pacific basin.The ninth named storm of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season, Chan-hom developed on June 29 from a westerly wind burst that also spawned Tropical Cyclone Raquel in the southern hemisphere. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Chan-hom is the year’s 14th typhoon in the Western Pacific region. On the southwestern side of the center, rainfall rates were occurring between 0.1 and 1 mm (0.003 and 0.03 inches) per hour. Wind shear, outside winds at different speeds and directions that can adversely affect a tropical cyclone, were pushing Chan-hom’s heaviest rainfall northeast of the center. By 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC) on Oct. 6, Chan-hom was located near latitude 24.5 degrees north and longitude 137.2 degrees east. It has to be noted that there are still many uncertainties regarding the exact track of the typhoon. Modern Tokyo Times. It was moving to the west and had maximum sustained winds near 55 knots (63 mph/102 kph). The storm is forecast to … The system is located in still-favorable oceanic conditions, so some additional strengthening is possible until Thursday evening, although it might already be very near its peak. It is the most active tropical cyclone basin on Earth, accounting for almost one-third of the world’s annual tropical cyclones forming. If winds exceed 130 knots (150 mph or 241 km/h), the typhoon is upgraded to a Super typhoon. The satellite imagery was created using NASA’s Worldview product at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. As the Japan Meteorological Agency is warning and calling for alert, please take action to prepare for safety beforehand. Typhoon off southern Japan, heavy rain expected nationwide. Chan-hom was generating as much as 30 mm (1.18 inches) of rain per hour just northeast of the center of circulation. The storm is expected to strengthen over the next three days and when it does, it will likely develop a more circular shape. The 14th typhoon in the Western Pacific region this year, Chan-hom is expected to strengthen rapidly today. The storm surge will be severe along its path and will affect southern and southwestern Japan, as the typhoon is still gathering strength and expanding its wind field. In addition to wind observations from ISS-RapidScat, imagery from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite (above) shows a true-color view of the typhoon on July 9.. The AIRS instrument is one of six instruments flying on board NASA’s Aqua satellite, launched on May 4, 2002. Forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted, “Chan-hom is tracking along the western periphery of a subtropical ridge (elongated area of high pressure) positioned to the east and through an overall unfavorable environment with moderate to high (25 knots/29 mph/46 kph) vertical wind shear.”. And the final environmental support with upper-level divergence, supporting the upward motion for deep convective storms to develop. After Wednesday, the typhoon turns towards Kyushu Islands, Japan.
