NASA's Aqua satellite observes formation of Tropical Cyclone 02A
https://phys.org/news/2018-05-nasa-aqua-satellite-formation-tropical.html
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of 02A. The image showed that convection continues to consolidate and organize around the low level center, with the strongest storms west of the center.
JTWC forecasts that 02A will move north towards Oman. The storm is expected to strengthen as it moves over warm waters. JTWC expects 02A to strengthen to 86.3 mph (75 knots/139 kph) before veering northwest and making landfall in Oman after three days.
