The low pressure area called System 96P in the South Pacific appears to be getting organized in infrared satellite imagery from NASA.

The low pressure area called System 91W that showed some promise of developing into the first tropical depression of the Northwestern Pacific hurricane season has dissipated.

On February 26, the last warning on Tropical Cyclone Carlos was issued as the storm dropped to minimal tropical storm force and was rapidly dissipating.

Tropical Cyclone Atu had a brief but memorable life last week, and NASA’s Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument that flies aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured a day-by-day look at its growth and death.

The rainfall analysis map was constructed at Goddard and used Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite calibrated estimates from all available satellite data collected in real time.

NASA satellite data shows that Cyclone Dianne has moved further away from land, but also indicates that Dianne as strengthened and grown larger since yesterday.

Infrared data from NASA’s Aqua satellite on Feb. 10 hinted that strong convection would likely make the low pressure area known as System 96S into the next tropical cyclone in the Indian Ocean.
