Typhoon Nari was a compact, but powerful storm as it churned north over the East China Sea toward Korea in mid-September 2007. The storm came ashore over South Korea as a Category 2 storm on September 16, causing at least one death and stranding some 15,000 travelers on the South Korean island of Jeju, reported Agence France-Presse. Nari was a far more powerful Category 4 storm, with winds of 220 kilometers per hour (140 miles per hour or 120 knots), on September 15, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( modis.gsfc.nasa.gov MODIS ) on NASA's terra.nasa.gov/ Terra satellite captured this photo-like image. The more powerful a tropical cyclone is, the more distinct and symmetrical its shape. At Category 4 strength, Nari was very ''tidy'' with well-organized bands of clouds tightly wound around a distinct eye in a near-perfect circle.
The high-resolution image provided above is at MODIS' full spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at rapidfire.sci.gsfc.n asa.gov/gallery/?200 7258-0915/Nari.A2007 258.0235 additional resolutions.
