Satellite image of Hurricane Nora over the Pacific
Hurricane Nora. Satellite image of Hurricane Nora off the coast of Baja California, Mexico. The hurricane is the swirl of clouds surrounding the dark hole (the " eye" ) at lower right. The " eye" is comprised of relatively calm, cloud-free air at a very low pressure. Around this " eye" are very strong winds which blow at over 100 kilometres per hour. Hurricanes form in tropical regions and are caused by large-scale evaporation and convection due to warm sea temperatures. The eastward movement of warm water in the Pacific (known an El Nino event) may cause more hurricanes to form off the American continents coast. Image taken on 22 September 1997 by the American GOES-9 satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the satellite image of Hurricane Nora as it looms over the Pacific Ocean. The immense power and magnitude of this natural phenomenon are evident in the swirling clouds that envelop the dark hole known as the "eye" at the lower right corner. Within this eye, a sense of calm prevails, with cloud-free air existing at an incredibly low pressure. The surrounding area is characterized by ferocious winds blowing at speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour. Hurricanes like Nora typically originate in tropical regions, fueled by large-scale evaporation and convection resulting from warm sea temperatures. Interestingly, El Nino events, which involve eastward movement of warm water in the Pacific Ocean, can contribute to an increased formation of hurricanes along the American continent's coast. This remarkable image was captured on September 22nd, 1997 by GOES-9 - an American satellite dedicated to meteorological observations. It serves as a stark reminder of nature's raw power and its ability to shape our climate and weather patterns. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring sight from space, we gain a deeper appreciation for both the beauty and destructive force that hurricanes possess.
