Advanced Dvorak Technique (ADT) plot for Hurricane Odile<\/p><\/div>\n

A time series plot of the Advanced Dvorak Technique<\/strong><\/a> (ADT) intensity estimate for Hurricane Odile<\/strong><\/a> (above)<\/strong><\/em> showed that the tropical cyclone went through a period of rapid intensification on 14 September 2014, reaching Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson<\/strong><\/a> hurricane scale as it moved northwestward toward the southern tip of Baja California (Odile track map<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n

McIDAS images of GOES-15 10.7 \u00b5m IR channel data covering the 13-15 September period (below; click image to play animated GIF; also available as an MP4 movie file<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> showed Odile from the period of rapid intensification on the 14th to landfall on the 15th. Odile made landfall near Cabo San Lucas around 04:45 UTC on 15 September, with an estimated intensity of 110 knots — this ties with Hurricane Olivia (1967) as the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Baja California Sur during the modern satellite era.<\/p>\n

Several hours prior to landfall, a comparison of GOES-15 10.7 \u00b5m IR and DMSP SSMIS 85 GHz microwave images from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones<\/strong><\/a> site (below)<\/strong><\/em> indicated that Odile had a large outer eyewall at that particular point in time.<\/p>\n

Even after several hours of traversing the rugged terrain of the Baja California peninsula, Odile continued to maintain hurricane intensity; the faint signature of an eye could still be seen on AWIPS II images of Suomi NPP VIIRS 0.64 \u00b5m visible channel and 11.45 \u00b5m IR channel data at 22:34 UTC on 15 September (below)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
