* GOES-17 images shown here are preliminary and non-operational *

GOES-17 “Red” Visible (0.64 µm) images (above) revealed the low-level circulation of an occluded Hurricane Force low (surface analyses) over the West Pacific Ocean on 09 January – 10 January 2019.

GOES-17 Low-level (7.3 µm), Mid-level (6.9 µm) and Upper-level (6.2 µm) Water Vapor images (below) showed the circulation of the storm at higher altitudes.

Metop-A ASCAT surface scatterometer wind speeds were as high as 67 knots southwest of the storm center and 63 knots to the northeast (below).
