Title:
Tropical Cyclone Dovi
Description:
Located roughly 1300 km southeast of Samoa in the Pacific Ocean, Tropical Cyclone Dovi is packing a punch with sustained winds at an impressive 157 km per hour (98 mph). On Feb. 10, 2003, the storm was tracking due south, however, and appeared headed for oblivion over the cold waters of the South Pacific.

This true-color image of the storm was acquired on February 9, 2003, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA?s Terra satellite. The high-resolution image available here is 500 meters per pixel. Visit the MOD IS Rapid Response Team, for a copy of this scene at MODIS? full resolution of 250 meters per pixel.
