The eye of the storm is the area of clarification and relatively quiet weather in the middle of a tropical cyclone. Usually its diameter is several tens of kilometers (mostly 20-30). The eye of the storm surrounded by a wall of powerful cumulonimbus clouds that reach this greatest height, here has the strong wind and precipitation. Education the eye of the storm is associated with a downward movement of air in the center of the cyclone.

Now in the Atlantic is raging a hurricane "Maria". The satellite Sentinel-2 was able to capture it in high definition on September 19. Thanks to the high resolution in the eye of the storm you can even see waves in the ocean!
