Re: (Slightly OT, but tropics fun!) Name that storm, Mark III
I think we're going to need a better hint than that (i.e., nearest land mass), the picture is pretty small.

Well, the picture is pretty small but even if I made it bigger, the storm would be the same size. It's actual-size (1 km resolution).
Here's another (bigger) hint: It happened in the off-season for its basin.

Is cheating allowed? If so I guess Omeka. If not then :blush: I'm going with Whoops.

Technically, the storm pictured wasn't a tropical cyclone at that point! (Yeah, right.)
At this point it was exhibiting typical typhoon/hurricane features and had a Dvorak rating of T4.5/4.5 from SAB (77 knots) while it was in the WPAC. JMA described it as a "LOW".
CPHC warned on it as soon as it crossed back east into their area, and it became Tropical Storm Omeka.
Good guess!

Here's a snippet from a forecast discussion.
THE RECONNAISSANCE MISSION SCHEDULED FOR THIS MORNING WAS SCRUBBED
DUE TO ELECTRONICS PROBLEMS ON MULTIPLE AIRCRAFT. HOWEVER...BEFORE
THE EYE WENT OUT OF RANGE OF THE VELOCITY DATA FROM THE KEY WEST
WSR-88D...WINDS OF 100-115 KT WERE SEEN AT BETWEEN 9000-13000 FT.
ADDITIONALLY...SATELLITE INTENSITY ESTIMATES ARE 115 KT FROM ALL
AGENCIES. BASED ON THIS AND EXTRAPOLATION OF TRENDS FROM THE LAST
AIRCRAFT MISSION...THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS INCREASED TO 105
KT...AND THIS MAY BE CONSERVATIVE GIVE THE SATELLITE APPEARANCE.
Name that storm! (It should be quite easy if you Google it, but why would you do that?
)
