What is the eye of a storm?

Answer 1

it is in the middle of the storm, usually the middle of the hurricane/tornado, where it is calm. from there, the view is clear, you can even see the sky. though it is almost impossible for a human to do that =P

Hope this helps, Peace.

Answer 2

Good question. Meteorologically, it refers only to the "eye" of a tropical cyclone. It is the center of circulation of the storm. About 25% of tropical cyclones (named storms) have an eye, and virtually all hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones (depending on where they form on the earth's oceans) have eyes. This area in the storm is a calm area. It is surrounded by a so-called eye wall which is a concentric ring of violent thunderstorms. One of the reasons for the existence of the eye is the subsidence near the top of the storm which dries the air in the eye region as it descends so that not only is the air calm, it is also clear. This is the area that reconnaissance aircraft fly into so that they can drop a "dropsonde" on a parachute that measures wind, temperature, and pressure down to the ocean surface. This is the primary way of telling what the central pressure is in the storm which is also located in the eye of the storm. I have flown into typhoons in the western north Pacific ocean in the early 1970's while doing typhoon research using satellite data. This data is also used to locate the circulation centers of developing storms, find them when they are first developing so that aircraft will not have to be flying all the time looking for storms, help track the storm in its life cycle, and also help determine the storm's intensity. I hope this will help clarify this question of yours a little more.
