Three NASA satellite instruments took aim at Tropical Storm Dolphin. Dolphin responded by posing for pictures as it headed west towards Guam gathering strength and speed as it moves. The MODIS instrument on the Aqua satellite captured the image above on May 12, 2015. An eye was not present in this image so Dolphin still has some more developing to do. It is moving west at 7 knots. AIRS produced the image below of Dolphin on May 12, 2015 and lots of cold temps in the upper atmosphere are present and the storm is developing into a tropical cyclone.
