Target Sector (2.5-minute interval) JMA Himawari-9 AHI Red Visible (0.64 µm) and Clean Infrared Window (10.4 µm) images (above) showed Super Typhoon Man-Yi as it made landfall along the Philippines island of Luzon on 17th November 2024. Low-altitude mesovortices were apparent within the eye as it was offshore — then a notable convective burst developed as the eye became cloud-filled shortly after moving inland.

A toggle between VIIRS Day/Night Band images from NOAA-21 and Suomi-NPP (below) provided two high-resolution views of Man-Yi as it approached Luzon.
