Anatomy of a hurricane

• cloud shield - 500-600 km in diameter
• eye - 20-50 km in diameter
  • relatively warm
  • light winds
  • clear/broken clouds
  • low surface pressure
• eyewall
  • very strong winds
  • ring of intense thunderstorms/rain surrounding the eye
  • what the eyewall looks like in radar data
  • Ever been in the eye of a hurricane looking at the eyewall??
• See if you can identify the above features in this loop of Hurricane Charley | radar reflectivity |  Doppler velocities |

If you were to fly a plane through the hurricane, what would the traces of winds, pressure, and air temperature be at low levels????
