Tropical Storm Koppu Poised for China Landfall
September 15, 2009The latest tropical storm in the western Pacific formed on Sunday, and is poised to make landfall in mainland China on Tuesday, near typhoon strength (74 mph).
Tropical Storm Koppu, the sixteenth tropical cyclone in the western Pacific Ocean, also deemed "16W," had sustained winds near 69 mph (60 knots) today, September 14. Koppu is expected to strengthen just a little more before it makes landfall in China. It was centered near 20.6 north and 114.6 east, about 130 nautical miles south-southeast of Hong Kong, China. Koppu is forecast to move west-northwest near 10 mph and will make landfall on September 15. It is expected to dissipate within one or two days after landfall.
NASA's Terra satellite flew over Tropical Storm Koppu late last night at 03:20 UTC (11:20 p.m. EDT), and using infrared imagery from the Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument, captured a well organized tropical storm of the southeastern China coast. Landfall will bring heavy rains, heavy surf conditions along the coast and gusty winds.
Earlier, NASA's Aqua satellite flew over Koppu and used the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument to read the temperatures of the storm's clouds at 1:41 a.m. EDT. AIRS showed very cold, high thunderstorm clouds, as cold or colder than -63 Fahrenheit.
Koppu will continue to track generally west-northwestward under the influence of the subtropical ridge until it makes landfall northwest of the Leizhou Peninsula during the day tomorrow.

Tropical Storm by Beenie Man No one's ever questioned whether Beenie Man has the DJ skills and charisma to blow dancehall music up into Shaggy-like proportions. The question is, at what cost? Collaborations with heavyweight American hip-hop producers DJ Clue ("Fresh From Yard"), The Neptunes ("Bad Girl"), and Janet Jackson--who contributes a catchy hook to hip-hoppy single "Feel It Boy"--mean Tropical Storm ends up sounding not very, well, tropical. Crossover dancehall bids are cool, but there's no "Who Am I (Zim Zimma)?"-caliber tunes to be found and too few gritty tunes to keep the hardcore dancehall masses overly enthused. The Shocking Vibes crew add just enough authentic dancehall so you don't feel as if you're listening to a P Diddy record. Beenie's "singjay" flows shine on the Sly and Robbie-produced "You... |
