This chapter introduces an objective method for determining the center of the tropical cyclone (TC) from spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data based on the structures of the well-defined TC eyes in the SAR images. A series of Radarsat-1 SAR images are used, which capture the TCs over the world ocean basins during the years from 2001 to 2007. Also, a case study of the atmospheric gravity waves over the Kuril Islands observed in a Sentinel-1A SAR image during the passage of an extratropical cyclone will be presented together with the use of the state-of-the-art atmospheric numerical model. The objective is to obtain a more complete understanding of the generation mechanism and the dynamics governing the gravity waves.
