MOCHA had maximum sustained winds of 160 kilometers per hour within 74 kilometers of the storm's center, with gusts likely to increase to 180 kilometers per hour.

  The National Cryosphere Desert Data Center (NCDC) for Glaciology and Permafrost Desert collects and prepares basic geographic data, satellite remote sensing data, population data, topographic data and other emergency response scientific data based on disaster situations.The "Emergency response service of scientific data for Extremely Strong Cyclone “MOCHA” disaster in Bay of Bengal" system has been released, which provides data visualization, interoperation and data download capabilities.For use by relevant emergency, rescue and research departments.

  The subsequent NCDC will continue to further collect and sort out various data resources in the gradually release them through the data center platform for the use of relevant emergency, rescue and research departments.
