Inilah Tampilan Badai Sandy dari Luar Angkasa

Diposting oleh Unknown on Sabtu, 03 November 2012



Dua satelit baru-baru ini berhasil mengambil citra wajah badai Sandy dari atas bola dunia. Seperti apa?

Dilansir LiveScience, satelit cuaca GOES-13 dan satelit pemantau Bumi Suomi NPP yang berada di stasiun luar angkasa NASA Earth Observatory dikabarkan berhasil memotret tampilan badai Sandy yang tengah menyerang pantai timur Amerika Serikat.

Citra yang tertangkap menunjukkan wilayah Amerika Utara, Tengah, dan Selatan, dengan wajah badai Sandy yang berbentuk awan berputar, yang tengah menghantam pantai timur AS.

Kumpulan awan membentang dari utara Florida hingga ke Maine. Bagian tipis awan juga menjangkau ke arah timur melintasi Samudra Atlantik.

Badai Sandy, disebut juga 'Frankenstorm', sejauh ini sudah berhasil melumpuhkan New York dan New Jersey. Meskipun hanya masuk dalam kategori satu, namun kekuatan badai ini menjadi demikian besarnya karena bertemu dengan arus udara dingin dari kawasan Arktik.

Jalur Badai Sandy diperkirakan mencapai 1.600 kilometer. Badai ini disebut sebagai siklon tropis Atlantik kedua terbesar sejak 1988. [mor]
