Prediction of satellite track of tropical cyclone from spiral bands

 ABSTRACT. The sector of the eye wall where a spiraling convective barxi a~ars to fasten with it changes and oscillates over the eye wall and such a sector is easily discernible in EnhancOO fufra Red (EIR) imagery received from satellite for a cyclone whose intensity is more than T5.0. It has been argued that a vector having initial point at the centre of the cyclone arxi passing through this particular sector of the eye wall, indicates the future satellite track of a tropical cyclone. The data of the two cyclones. which were showing above mentioned identifiable feawre during a part of their lives. withstood the logic within observational errors.
