Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 16 May at 04:47 UTC, shows the eye of Cyclonic Storm Tauktae near the coast of western India. Tauktae is a category 3 cyclone with winds up to 200 km/h. The storm was the most powerful to hit the region in decades. It has formed over the Arabian Sea and is moving north along the coasts of Goa, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Gujarat. Due to the rough seas, widespread coastal erosion has occurred in many locations along the coast, forcing the authorities to transfer people to emergency camps. In addition, according to media reports, six people died in Kerala and Karnataka. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission consists of twin satellites (Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B) equipped with two optical instruments, the Ocean Land Color Instrument (OLCI) and the Sea Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). The two sensors provide images with a daily revisit that allows us to improve our scientific knowledge of atmospheric composition and gather essential information for climate studies and weather forecasts.
