Summary[edit]

Description

This unusual mosiac of storms shows three well-formed tropical storms in the eastern Pacific off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. They are, from left to right, Hurricane Jova, Hurricane Kenneth, and Tropical Storm Max. Also shown is an intensifying tropical depression which later developed into Tropical Storm Norma, though it had not quite earned the name at the time the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) made this series of observations. None of the storms are predicted to affect land.

The mosaic combines observations spanning the eastern Pacific from Mexico almost all the way to Hawaii. It was created by merging data obtained by both the Terra and Aqua MODIS instruments from two seperate satellite passes each. Small gray gaps show where the MODIS swaths did not quite overlap. These data were obtained by the two MODIS instruments on September 21, 2005, between 11:25 a.m. and 2:35 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.
