You can use the following fader to shift from a visible image of Hurricane Iris (2001) to an enhanced infrared (IR) image. In the enhanced IR image, the eye is especially evident because the satellite is able to see all the way down to the warm ocean waters. In the visible image, the texture in the eye wall region suggests strong cumulonimbus clouds.
Note that the single surface observation plotted on the images signifies counterclockwise (cyclonic) wind rotation. The scarcity of weather observations over the ocean is one reason why satellite derived winds are critical for forecasting hurricane tracks.
