I know the greater the difference, the more intense it generally is, but I don't know much about it.

"The eye is the region of lowest surface pressure and warmest temperatures aloft - the eye temperature may be 10°C [18°F] warmer or more at an altitude of 12 km [8 mi] than the surrounding environment, but only 0-2°C [0-3°F] warmer at the surface (Hawkins and Rubsam 1968) in the tropical cyclone."

I was trying to find a paper about it.
