I think we can now describe #HurricaneIAN's remnant storm centered roughly over NYC & 1000kms in diameter, as a "Gyre".
Gyre= "a broad area of slowly spinning air that rotates counterclockwise in the Nth Hemisphere."
Typically Gyres are not over land though.

This is a very rapidly widening gyre - off the coast of Brazil, almost as big as the one over NYC, and one which may soon become a hurricane once it completes cyclone genesis.
It doesn't yet have a name, just a designation, but it will likely be called Julia or Karl.
