Hola amigos: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., hemos recibido información de la Agencia Espacial NASA, de una espectacular vista captada desde encima de una tormenta llamado Tifón Maysak.
Space Station Flies Over Super Typhoon Maysak
Typhoon Maysak strengthened into a super typhoon on March 31, reaching
Category 5 hurricane status on the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale. ESA Astronaut
Samantha Cristoforetti captured this image while flying over the weather system
on board the International Space Station.
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation
Measurement (GPM) satellites, both co-managed by NASA and the Japan Aerospace
Exploration Agency, captured rainfall and cloud data that revealed heavy
rainfall and high thunderstorms in the strengthening storm.
The TRMM satellite has been collecting valuable scientific data since
November 1997. Early on March 30, the satellite collected rainfall data as it
flew directly above Maysak at 04:14 UTC (12:14 a.m. EDT) when maximum sustained
winds were near 85 knots (98 mph). Rainfall data was collected by TRMM's
Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) instruments and showed
heaviest rainfall southwest of the center, and in fragmented bands of
thunderstorms northeast of the center. In both of those places rainfall was in
excess of 50 mm/2 inches per hour.
