NASA AIRS 3 Days of Cyclone Cherono Images

Caption

These three days of AIRS infrared imagery show how wind shear took its toll on Cyclone Cherono and weakened it to a remnant low pressure area. On March 19 (left) it was a tropical storm with a band of thunderstorms around west of center. On March 20 the banding was gone and strong convection (purple) was limited to north of the center of circulation. By March 21 Cherono had become asymmetric from wind shear and weakened to a remnant low.
