Nuages peu développés dans "l'oeil" du cyclone tropical Katrina. L'éclairement par la réflexion de la lumière sur la face interne du "mur de l'oeil", qui apparaît comme un mur blanc brillant, permet de bien distinguer les détails de la masse nuageuse : structure cumuliforme, organisation en bandes enroulées. Vue d'avion prise le 28 août 2005, au maximum de l'intensité du cyclone tropical Katrina, la veille de son arrivée sur La Nouvelle-Orléans.
