On Feb. 19, Europe’s Meteosat-8 satellite was keeping an eye on Tropical Cyclone Guambe, which developed off the southeastern coast of Africa this week from a system that was pushed off the continent into the Mozambique Channel.

Summary

[edit]
Description
Afrikaans: Op 19 Februarie het die Europese Meteosat-8-satelliet 'n oog op die tropiese sikloon Guambe gehou. Dit het in hierdie week aan die suidooskus van Afrika ontwikkel uit 'n stelsel wat van die vasteland af in die Mosambiekkanaal gestoot is. Volgens die Verenigde Koninkryk se Met Office, “het 'n laagdrukgebied in die afgelope week oorstromings oor Mosambiek en noordoostelike Suid-Afrika veroorsaak. Dit het nou oor die see uitgewyk en in sterkte toegeneem om tropiese storm Guambe te word.” Volgens 'n opdatering wat deur die Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC) op 19 Feb. uitgereik is, het Guambe windsnelhede van sowat 80 mph bereik, wat dit klassifiseer as 'n kategorie 1-orkaan op die Saffir-Simpson-orkaanwindskaal. Kwalik 'n maand gelede het 'n ander sikloon, Eloise, dieselfde benaderde gebied getref en swaar reën en oorstromings oor Suider-Afrika opgelewer nadat dit Mosambiek binnegedring het. Daarteenoor word daar nie van Guambe verwag om aan land te gaan nie en dit sal waarskynlik strykelings aan die ooskus verbybeweeg voor dit na oop water terugkeer. Die Meteosat-8-satelliet, sowat 22 300 myl bo die ewenaar in geostasionêre wentelbaan, werk oor Europa, Afrika en die Indiese Oseaan. Dit is in 2002 van die Guiana-ruimtesentrum in Kourou af gelanseer, en word teen 41,5 grade geposisioneer om kwartierliks volle aardskyfbeelde te verskaf. Meteosat-8 is een van die vier geostasionêre satelliete wat deur Europa se EUMETSAT bedryf word.
English: On Feb. 19, Europe’s Meteosat-8 satellite was keeping an eye on Tropical Cyclone Guambe, which developed off the southeastern coast of Africa this week from a system that was pushed off the continent into the Mozambique Channel. According to the United Kingdom’s Met Office , “[A]n area of low pressure has caused flooding rains over Mozambique and northeastern South Africa over the last week, and has now moved out over the ocean and strengthened to become Tropical Storm Guambe.” In an update issued by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) on Feb. 19, Guambe had wind speeds around 80 mph, making it the equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Barely one month ago, another cyclone, Eloise, hit the same approximate area and produced heavy rain and flooding across Southern Africa when it made landfall in Mozambique. In contrast, Guambe is not expected to make landfall and will likely only brush Africa’s east coast before heading out into the open water. In geostationary orbit at approximately 22,300 miles above the equator, the Meteosat-8 satellite operates over Europe, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. Meteosat-8 (launched from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou in 2002) is positioned at 41.5 degrees and provides full disc imagery every 15 minutes. Meteosat-8 is one of the four geostationary satellites operated by Europe’s EUMETSAT.
