Typhoon Aere: Natural Hazards
description:
The MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured this true-color image of Typhoon Aere on August 25, 2004 at 5:20 UTC. At the time this image was taken Aere was located about 130 km (81 miles) northwest of Taipei, Taiwan and was moving towards the west at 17 km/hr (10 mph). Maximum sustained winds were near 143 km/hr (89 mph) with higher gusts to 167 km/hr (104 mph).

Aere made landfall on southeast China's Fujian province at 8:30 UTC and was expected to also strike Zhejiang province, an area that is still mopping up after Typhoon Rananim left 164 people dead and 1,800 injured just weeks ago.

The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at rapidfire.sci.gsfc.n asa.gov/gallery/?200 4238-0825/Aere.A2004 238.0520 additional resolutions and formats.
