On October 25 and 26 two tropical low pressure areas are spinning in the Northern Indian Ocean, and one in the Southern Indian Ocean. The Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera or Epic instrument that flies aboard NOAA’s DSCOVR or Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite captured an image showing all three low pressure areas on October 25 at 05:37 UTC (12:37 a.m. EDT).
The DSCOVR spacecraft is located at the Earth-Sun Lagrange-1 (L-1) point giving EPIC a unique angular perspective that will be used in science applications to measure ozone, aerosols, cloud reflectivity, cloud height, vegetation properties, and UV radiation estimates at Earth’s surface.
In the Northern Indian Ocean System 93B was located east of the southern India peninsula. System 93B was near 6.6 degrees north latitude and 83.1 degrees east longitude. That’s about 190 nautical miles east of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Despite this low pressure area having a weak low-level center of circulation with disorganised convection, it is in an environment with low to moderate vertical wind shear.
