Two Cyclones – May 10, 2022
Tropical Cyclone Asani (top) and Tropical Cyclone Karim (bottom) were traveling together through the Indian Ocean on May 8 when the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite on the NOAA-20 satellite took this photo. This was Image of the Day on May 10, and India can be seen through the cloud cover in the top left. The cyclones are spinning in opposite direction because of the Coriolis Effect: Asani is located north of the equator, where storms rotate counterclockwise while Karim is located south of the equator, where storms rotate clockwise.
