Cyclone Zoe was near its record peak intensity on late December 27, 2002 when this image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA's Terra satellite. Cyclone Zoe was one of the most intense tropical cyclones ever observed in the South West Pacific Ocean .
Common developmental patterns seen during tropical cyclone development, and their Dvorak-assigned intensities. The Dvorak technique (developed between 1969 and 1984 by Vernon Dvorak) is a widely used system to estimate tropical cyclone intensity (which includes tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane/typhoon/intense tropical cyclone intensities) based solely on visible and infrared ...

Irma was the second-most intense tropical cyclone worldwide in 2017 in terms of barometric pressure, and the strongest worldwide in 2017 in terms of wind speed. Another eyewall replacement cycle caused Irma to weaken back to a Category 4 hurricane, but the storm re-attained Category 5 status before making landfall in Cuba.
A historic “bomb cyclone” has caused multiple deaths and mass power outages after slamming into Seattle, Washington, as it charts a destructive path through California and Oregon.
As the hurricane neared the coast, its eye became apparent on coastal long-range WSR-57 weather radar images. [2] By 1800 UTC on September 26, Helene strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane and then to a Category 4 hurricane the following day. The major hurricane continued to strengthen before reaching its peak intensity on September 27 with ...
At least two people have died and hundreds of thousands are without power as a second powerful bomb cyclone approaches the Pacific Northwest and Northern California, causing high winds, heavy rain ...
A mature tropical cyclone can release heat at a rate upwards of 6×10 14 watts. [1] Tropical cyclones on the open sea cause large waves, heavy rain, and high winds, disrupting international shipping and, at times, causing shipwrecks. [2] Generally, after its passage, a tropical cyclone stirs up ocean water, lowering sea surface temperatures ...
