To identify a tropical cyclone, look for a circular or spiral shape with a well-defined center, called the eye. The eye is surrounded by bands of clouds with intense rainfall and strong winds. The cloud cover extends over a large area and has a distinct shape.

To determine the hemisphere of the tropical cyclone, look at the direction of the winds in the cloud bands. In the Southern Hemisphere, the winds rotate clockwise around the center of the cyclone, while in the Northern Hemisphere, they rotate counterclockwise.

Additionally, the location of the cyclone can be determined by looking at the surrounding land or ocean features visible in the satellite photo and comparing them to maps or other geographic references.

Again, I cannot provide specific evidence related to Cyclone Eloise, but these are general guidelines that can be used to identify and locate a tropical cyclone in a satellite photo.
