Description

In the AIRS instrument's microwave imagery most clouds are relatively transparent in microwave. However, in this image of Hurricane Michael on Oct. 8 at 2:47 p.m. EDT (1847 UTC), the highest storms, located in the eyewall form almost a complete circle around the center. An eye wall is a ring of powerful storms around the open center of a hurricane.
