T2K/Meteomedia Graphical Satellite Analysis

www.typhoon2000.ph has been one of my favorite websites whose main purpose is giving out what PAGASA is supposed to be providing to the masses. I've been an avid online subscriber of this website for about 4-years now. The graph below is a 'top-level' weather analysis they do on the site on a daily basis and its very informational. Satellite data comes from the US NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) localized to the western pacific region.



In the image above you will read about easterlies. These are trade winds predominant in the tropics which can either come from the northeast or the southeast thus they are called easterlies. Easterlies strengthen during the polar winter when the Arctic oscillation is in its 'warm phase'. Trade winds act as the steering flow for tropical storms that form over the Atlantic, Pacific, and southern Indian Oceans and make landfall in North America, Southeast Asia, and Madagascar and eastern Africa, respectively.




The disclaimer of course is that official weather forecasting will continue to be from the national weather bureau or PAGASA. IF you want more Meteomedia Graphical Satellite Analysis, you can go straight to www.typhoon2000.com.ph. I am sure you won't be disappointed.
