Dear Jonathan,
It is actually the pixel with the warmest brightness temperature as
measured in a single IR band.
Beyond that, I do not think that one could specifically identify it as
SST, air temperature, etc.
Sincerely,
Gary

Dear Gary
The warmest temperature of what, I wonder? Does this mean SST or air
temperature, or some other temperature?
Best wishes

I would like to propose a new standard name,
tropical_cyclone_eye_temperature.
Dimensions: Celsius
Definition:
"tropical_cyclone_eye_temperature" means the warmest temperature
value in the eye region of a tropical cyclone
(0 - 24 km from the storm center) derived using the Advanced Dvorak
Technique, based on satellite observations.
