Tropical Cyclone Wallace was dissipating in the Southern Indian Ocean when NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed overhead. Wallace was located off the northwestern coast of Western Australia.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology or ABM noted that a Strong Wind Warning was in effect for the Esperance Coast and Eucla Coast on April 10 as Wallace continued weakening far off the coast of Western Australia.
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over Wallace on April 10 and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument provided a visible image of the storm. The VIIRS image showed wind shear has pushed the bulk of the system’s clouds southeast of the center and was tearing the storm apart.
