Visible imagery from NASA’s Terra satellite showed a weaker Tropical Storm Gelena far from land areas, and in the middle of the Southern Indian Ocean.
On Feb. 13, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA’s Terra satellite provided a visible image of Gelena. The image showed bands of thunderstorms spiraling into a cloud-filled but defined low level circulation with the bulk of its associated convection and clouds pushed eastward from westerly winds.
