STS51I-44-0052 Hurricane Elena, Gulf of Mexico September 1985

Hurricane Elena, with wind speeds in excess of 115 miles per hour (182 kilometers per hour), was photographed in the Gulf of Mexico on September 1, 1985. Almost the entire storm can be seen in this high-oblique photograph. For instance, a number of thunderstorms with their overshooting tops, the spiral bands of numerous thunderstorms leading to the eye of the hurricane, and numerous cloud gravity waves within the spiral bands can be seen. Some portions of the eye wall, where the most destructive winds of the storm occur, are also visible. This storm eventually made landfall near Gulfport, Mississippi.

Hurricane Elana [sic] in the Gulf of Mexico, exact location unknown. The presence of a tight, well formed, gyre and elevated cloud berm bordering the eye, are indicators of a very powerful and dangerous hurricane with very high internal cyclonic wind speeds.

Hurikán Elena byl hurikán 3. stupně, který způsobil velké škody podél pobřeží Mexického zálivu v srpnu a září během atlantické hurikánové sezóny 1985. Pátá tropická bouře, čtvrtý hurikán a první hlavní hurikán sezóny, Elena, se zformovala nedaleko Kuby z tropické vlny. Rychle nabírala na síle, dosahujíc rychlosti větru až 125 mph (205 km/h), zatímco se stále zdržovala pouze v severovýchodní části zálivu. Poté se obrátila na severozápad až se na konec poprvé dotkla země v blízkosti města Biloxi v Mississippi, jako hurikán třetí kategorie. Bouře se poté rychle rozptýlila po zemi. .. pokračovat ve čtení
