South Atlantic tropical cyclone Catarina 2004

Tropical cyclone Catarina seen from the ISS in 2004. A South Atlantic tropical cyclone is an unusual weather event which occurs below the equator in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Strong wind shear (which disrupts cyclone formation) and a lack of weather disturbances favorable for cyclone development make any hurricane-strength cyclones extremely rare.
