Description
Summary:Doppler radar observations of Tropical Cyclone Dina, as its eye passed at less than 100 km from the northern coast of La Reunion Island (21 degrees S, 55.5 degrees E) on 22 January 2002, are analyzed using the Ground-Based Extended Velocity Track Display technique. The results obtained for Dina reveal the presence of strong swirling winds at 40-60-km radii from the storm center and below 3-km altitude.
