Super Typhoon Hagibis - October 6-13 2019, William's full analysis of the event Media reports This can easily be seen in the zoomed in imagery of the eye (Figure 2, right).įigure 7: A comparison of Sentinel-3 OLCI Total Suspended Matter product, before and after the floods Further analysis One other feature of the NOAA-20 pass is that the eye was not completely in shadow, with some mesovorticies within the eye, again a feature of an intense system. The moonlit imagery from the NOAA-20 Day Night Band (Figure 2) showed what you’d expect of an intense tropical cyclone: a well-defined eye along with copious amounts of tropospheric gravity waves, as well as some intense convection in the feeder bands. Figure 1 shows the storm at Super Typhoon intensity, as seen by the OLCI instrument on Sentinel-3. Soon afterwards Hagibis underwent a period of rapid intensification and on 7 October became a super typhoon, developing a pinhole eye and top wind speeds of 260km/h (160mph), clipping the uninhabited island of Anatahan in the Mariana Archipelago, as well as impacting the island of Saipan. The system reached tropical storm status late on 5 October as it travelled westward, and was officially named Hagibis by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
The 19th named storm and the ninth typhoon of the 2019 Pacific typhoon season, Hagibis developed on 2 October, from a tropical wave located around 200 miles north of the Marshall Islands. The Charter allows Charter members, such as EUMETSAT and NOAA, to provide satellite imagery for disaster monitoring purposes. In addition, the flooding was so severe that the Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC) requested the International Charter Space and Major Disasters to be activated. As a result of the typhoon several Rugby World Cup matches had to be cancelled, along with other sporting events, such as the practice session for the 2019 Japanese Grand Prix. The areas that had flooding were around Nagano, around Tokyo, in the Fukushima Prefecture, and in the Miyagi Prefecture (see the VIIRS/AHI flood map and full analysis). More than 1m (3ft) of rain fell in the town of Hakone, the highest total ever recorded in Japan over 48 hours. Figure 1: Sentinel-3 OLCI True Colour, 8 October 2019 00:16 UTC
