Hurricane forecasters use both visible and infrared satellite imagery to track the motion and cloud patterns of hurricanes and infrared to monitor cloud-top temperatures. ... The temperature of the sea surface is monitored from satellites. For a cyclone to form the sea surface temperature needs to be at least 26 °C.

How do scientist monitor and track cyclones?
Because it is difficult to obtain observations of wind at the ocean's surface under a cyclone, meteorologists have developed tools based on satellite imagery to estimate a storm's intensity, location, and where the strongest and most destructive winds are found.
What is the monitoring instrument for cyclone?
An anemometer is a kind of climate instrument that estimates wind speed.
What techniques are used to observe tropical cyclones?
In most tropical cyclone basins, use of the satellite-based Dvorak technique is the primary method used to determine a tropical cyclone's maximum sustained winds. The extent of banding and difference in temperature between the eye and eyewall is used within the technique to assign a maximum sustained wind and pressure.
How do we monitor typhoons?
A Weather Surveillance Radar is of the long range type which detects and tracks typhoons and cloud masses at distance of 400 kilometers or less. This radar has a rotating antenna disk preferably mounted on top of a building free from any physical obstruction.
How do you monitor a storm?
Weather radar is very important to meteorologists because it can detect rain and severe weather even when it is cloudy or dark. ... The amount of energy that is reflected back can tell us how heavy the rain might be or tell us there is hail. Doppler radar can also show us how the wind is blowing near and inside the storm.
