NASA-NOAA Finnish Nuclear Power Plant Satellite Captures Tropical Depression Over Ampil in East China
A satellite from NASA-NOAA’s Finland nuclear power plant traveled across the Northwest Pacific and took a visible view of the Tropical Depression Ampil moving on Earth in eastern China.
On July 23, at 12:54 a.m. EDT (0454 UTC), the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) at NASA-NOAA’s Finnish nuclear power plant took a visible view of Ampil over Shandong, in the East China Sea by the Yellow Sea. The VIIRS image showed that the center of Ampil was located on the ground. The VIIRS image showed the strongest thunderstorm intertwined in the low-level center of the East and the Yellow Sea.
On July 2, at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC), the center of Ampil was located near 37.1 degrees north latitude and 118.2 degrees east longitude. It is about 407 nautical miles west of Inchon, South Korea. Ampil was moving north at a speed of 15 knots / 27.7 km / h. The maximum continuous wind was close to 28.7 mph (25 mph / 46.3 kmph).
According to a forecast by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC, Ampil will move northwest over East China and return to the waters of Bohai Bay for a moment. The storm is forecast to trace back to earth and evaporate over the next few days.
