#Hurricane #Jova strengthened from a 60 kt tropical storm to a 140 kt Category 5 in 30 hours from Tue evening to late Wed night. During that time, the peak seas near the center increased from 17 ft to 47 ft, as analyzed by TAFB. Here's a 24-hr sat loop of the rapid strengthening
For posterity... a day of satellite images to cover Jova's remarkable evolution. - Brian McNoldy

Category 5 Hurricane #Jova is the most powerful storm on the planet today. This #GOESWest view tracks the pinhole eye and concentric swirl via Infrared and Water Vapor imagery. Pro tip: WV is IR, just at wavelengths that best measure temperatures of water vapor in the atmosphere. - UW-Madison CIMSS

RT @BESNet_UNDP: Target 6 of the #GBF aims to reduce the rates of introduction and establishment of other known or potential #InvasiveAlienSpecies by at least 50% by 2030.

We can achieve this goal. But only through integrated governance, including well-resourced, coordinated and sustained strategic actions.
