Cyclones Luban and Titli
Cyclones Luban and Titli
While much of the Western Hemisphere has focused on the destruction Hurricane Michael, two storms have also overwhelmed the north of the Indian Ocean.
the Moderate resolution image spectroradiometer (MODIS) at NASA Water The satellite acquired this natural color image of the Luban Cyclone on the afternoon of October 11, 2018. The storm is the third to develop. in the Arabian Sea in 2018. The region is an important crossroads for ships that pass from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) of the USA. In the US, Luban had sustained winds of 65 knots (75 miles / 120 kilometers per hour) around noon on October 11. The maximum wave heights were estimated at 26 feet (8 meters). The storm centered about 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of Salah, Oman, and moved westward at only 2 knots (2.3 miles per hour).
From Oman Public Authority of Civil Aviation reported that the outer bands of the storm had already brought rains and increased winds near Dhofar and Al Wusta. Forecasters predict that Luban will do it make land in Yemen, as a tropical storm on October 14. Meteorologists warned of dangerous landslides and flash floods when the storm hits sandy, normally dry, lands.
Twelve cyclones have Formed in this region since 2010., but very few arrive in the Arabian Peninsula with the force of the cyclone; In general, tropical storms are weakened as dry desert air and wind cut their energy.
On the other side of the Indian Ocean, to the east, cyclone Titli brought torrential rains and violent winds to India.
The MODIS instrument at Aqua acquired this natural color image of the storm on October 11, 2018, shortly after touching land near Gopalpur. It was reported that the wind speeds were approximately 150 kilometers (90 miles) per hour. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed and almost half a million people lost electricity.
In a 2011 newspaperThe atmospheric scientists argued that increased air pollution, particularly the increase in aerosols, over the northern Indian Ocean has probably reduced vertical wind shear, a phenomenon that could alter the monsoon weather patterns and allow more cyclones are formed.
