REMARKS (for Meteorologists): 2 AM (18 GMT) THU 14 JULY POSITION: 19.9N 148.6E.
*TYPHOON (TY) 08W (MA-ON), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 425 NM SOUTHEAST
OF IWO TO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED JUST NORTH OF WESTWARD AT 15 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
THE SYSTEM HAS FURTHER CONSOLIDATED, FORMING A HIGHLY SYMMETRICAL
CONTINUOUS DEEP CONVECTIVE BAND AROUND A 5-NM PINHOLE EYE. A 132115Z
TRMM MICROWAVE IMAGE SHOWS THE WELL-DEFINED EYE SURROUNDED BY
CONCENTRIC BANDS OF CONVECTION. THE INITIAL POSITION IS BASED ON
THE ABOVE ANIMATION WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS
BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATE OF 90 KNOTS FROM KNES AND PGTW. UPPER LEVEL
ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS TO THE SOUTH OF THE RIDGE AXIS AND
HAS MAINTAINED A MESOSCALE ANTICYCLONE OVERHEAD. THIS FEATURE IS
PROVIDING EXCELLENT RADIAL OUTFLOW, AS EVIDENT ON ANIMATED WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY. ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM IS TRACKING ALONG A ZONE OF
LOW VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS). TY 08W IS CURRENTLY BEING STEERED BY
A DEEP-LAYERED SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) ANCHORED EAST OF
JAPAN...(more info)
>> MA-ON, meaning: Horse saddle (name of a peak). Name contributed by: Hong Kong, China.
