SOUTHERN PACIFIC OCEAN - Before System 92P fizzled, NASA's RapidScat instrument that flies aboard the International Space Station analyzed its surface winds on Dec. 28. Highest sustained winds were near 27 m/s (60 mph/92 kph) north of the center (dark red). The white areas in this image represent land or islands. At the time. System 92P was near the island group of Tuvalu. Tuvalu bound by Fiji to the south, Kiribati to the north and the Solomon Islands to the west. System 92P is no longer suspect for tropical cyclone formation.
