As seen on a plot of the Advanced Dvorak Technique<\/strong><\/a> (ADT) intensity estimation (above), <\/strong><\/em>Typhoon Hagupit underwent a period of rapid intensification in the West Pacific Ocean late in the day on 03 December 2014, reaching Super Typhoon (Category 5) intensity on 04 December. During this period of rapid intensification, COMS-1 10.8 \u00b5m IR channel images (below; click to play animation; also available as an MP4 movie file<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> showed the development of a well-defined eye, with very cold cloud-top IR brightness temperatures (in the -80 to -90\u00ba C range, shades of violet)<\/em> in the surrounding eyewall region.<\/p>\n

A comparison of MTSAT 10.8 \u00b5m IR and TRMM TMI 85 GHz microwave images just after 16:30 UTC on 06 December (below)<\/strong><\/em> showed the center of Hagupit making landfall on the island of Samar in the Philippines as a Category 3 typhoon. The slow-moving tropical cyclone dropped as much as 300-400 mm (12-16 inches) of rainfall.<\/p>\n
