Abstract

The most fascinating aspect of Tropical Meteorology is the formation and movement of tropical storms. Meteorological satellites show promise of being an ideal observational tool to study the life history of such storms. An example is shown of the TIROS I surveillance and tracking of a tropical storm during a six-day period as it developed in the Arabian Sea from a depression to hurricane intensity, moved WNW onto the Arabian Coast and dissipated over the mountains of SW Arabia. The influence of the 40,000 ft Circulation as a possible 'trigger' to development is noted. A comparison is given between the storm path as determined from satellite observations and as determined by conventional post analysis.
