Cyclone Center Talk
Very nice #eye storm!
It doesn't look like there is a warm (org/ylw/red) eye anywhere. The white is cold clouds. Embedded center.
Yep. But it certainly appears to be an #eye
Looks like a nice wide #eye!
That or bad navigation. From 1979, so we might have a problem with this early satellite. Since it's a "no name" system, you're likely right.
Good call. The images before look like classic #curved-bands. This seems to be an extension of those.
I could go either way on this one. Looks like an eye is forming, ... or filling in. Good image!
Tough one. White spot is #no-eye, since eye is warmer than eyewall but white is colder. Warm region to S not circular. I wud go #no-eye
I think the clue here is that there is no cloud free area near the center. It is one large mass of clouds. So I would go withm #embedded
I wouldn't call it an #eye since there doesn't appear to be a circular ring of cold clouds around it. Keep going!
Good question. No. White colors are the coldest. An eye is warm, so here there is a warm orange spot almost between the white spots.
The maroon blob to the right is the primary cloud system. Clouds in the lower right aren't part of the system. Hope this helps.
This is a classic #shear system. The swirl in the gray and white region shows the low level circulation at the center of the image.
It could be. Cyclones tend to become as they move over land ... and the Philippines and Taiwan in this image can disrupt the flow.
Duck ... Duck ...
#YinYang ?
Thoughts?
The LLCC you ask? The Low Level Circulation Center (LLCC)
#post-tropical But look at the spiral in the warmer gray clouds. The convection has been blown away from the storm center revealing LLCC
Went with #eye but also could see #embeddedcenter.
Nice. I winder what those wave clouds on the north side of the system are called.
#eye or #mega-eye or #gigaeye
Looks tasty. Also @hlgoldsborough, congrats on being the latest to join #The500Club http://blog.cyclonecenter.org/the-500-club/
I agree. Embedded centers are usually larger, more circular and located near the center. This is very #curved-band.
Very weak #eye. A #banding-eye. A few images ago it was impressive.
Good one to discuss!! I would say #embedded since the region surrounding the central warm spot isn't circular. #false-eye
Another toughy. Went with #embedded center since the warm center was still pretty cloudy. If it were orange or red, then perhaps #eye
Classified as #embedded center. But what do you think of the band on the left? didn't select a #banding feature b/c it was narrow. thoughts?
Another one that looks like an #eye but isn't. This system showed curved band and embedded, but before and after this, it is #curved-band!
This system looks like the traditional hurricane symbol
#curved-band ... it looks like a backward c or inverted question mark ¿
Wow. Very clear #eye with ome banding, too.
#giga-eye
Yes. Just did this one. The Eastern warm spot could be an eye while the western warm spot isn't surrounded by circular clouds, so isn't.
Ok. Your thoughts? #eye or #no-eye?
Happy #15K @peterthorne
Went with #curved-band since the yellow didn't go all the way around clear area, so not a true eye? Thought?
Looks at this string of pearls. Lots of circular deep convection. Where's the center? Follow the warmer pink clouds.
The spiraling winds can be seen in the pink clouds, but not much cold clouds. Went with #curved-band since the colder clds were small
Hey, that's looks like a good call. I would have gone with #spiral or #embedded depending on how it evolved.
Looks like a #shear storm. An embedded center would be more circular.
An eye finally appeared! It is so satisfying to work on a storm for a long time and finally see a classic eye! Keep at it everybody!
Here, you see the remnant low level circulation in the lower warm clouds (the gray and white spiral).
As the system moves away from the Equator, the colder clouds tend to move away from the storm's low level circulation.
Classic embedded center. Very round cold clouds. Also ,the banding feature to the goes from 6 to 9 o'clock! A long banding feature!
This one shows little in the way of circulation. I am guessing it is early in the storm's development, so would lean toward curved band
Hemisphere, so winds spiral inward counter clockwise.
It can sometimes be seen in the gray clouds (warmer, lower clouds). One key is to know which hemisphere you're in. This is a Northern
I went with curved band, since it was the first image I saw of the storm. It wasn't "no storm" since something was going on.
If this is early on in the storm, it is likely curved band. Embedded center is usually a larger area of cold clouds.
Lastly, the more images you look at, the more easily you will see patterns.
In that case, you should just select what you think is best! The human eye does very well at pattern recognition, so trust yourself!
Often, the first image you see, it may not be clear what the storm is (curved band, no storm, embedded center, etc.
What is the coldest color to surround the #eye? IT looks like light blue, though it is a ribbin of a ring!!
That is impressive!
Agreed. The structure if it were more circular might be an #eye, but this is too ragged. Particularly in the SE quadrant.
This is #bad-data. Make sure others use this hash tag too. Good catch. This will allow us to QC the data quicker.
The white spot might appear to be an #eye, but remember that white is cold. Yellow spot near center is why I classified it as an #eye-storm.
This #post-tropical storm was uninteresting until it formed this massive spiral. Very nice. Looks like soap suds going down the drain.
