Screaming eagle

From Freepedia

A screaming eagle is a term first seen in an Air Force Satellite Interpretation handbook written by Hank Brandley in 1974. It is a tropical wave with active thunderstorm activity at its apex, which is sheared by either westerly winds aloft, or by strong easterly winds at the surface. It was coined with this phrase due to its strong resemblance to the head of an eagle.
