Tropical cyclones are intense, cyclonically-rotating, low-pressure weather systems that form over the tropical oceans. Cyclonic means counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise southern hemisphere while intense means that sustained wind speeds exceed 17 m s-1(60 km h-1, 32 kn) near the surface. The convention for the definition of a "sustained wind speed" is a 10 min average value, except in the United States, which adopts a 1 min average. Severe tropical cyclones have near surface sustained wind speeds equal to or exceeding 33 m s-1 (120 km h-1, 64 kn): these are called hurricanes over the Atlantic Ocean, the East Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and Typhoons over the Western North Pacific Ocean. Typically the strongest winds occur in a ring some tens of kilometres from the centre and there is a calm region near the centre, the eye, where winds
are light. For moving storms, the wind distribution is asymmetric with the maximum winds in the forward right quadrant in the northern hemisphere and in the forward left quadrant in the southern hemisphere. The eye obtains its name because, in a mature storm, it is normally free of deep clouds, but is surrounded by a ring of deep convective clouds that slope outwards with height. This ring is called the eyewall cloud or simply the eyewall. At larger radii from the centre, storms usually show spiral bands of convective clouds.
