| Abstract: | Sudden tropical cyclone (TC) intensi!cation has been linked with
high values of upper ocean heat content contained in mesoscale features, particularly
warm ocean eddies, provided that atmospheric conditions are also favorable.
Although understanding of air-sea interaction for TCs is evolving, this manuscript
summarizes some of the current work being carried out to investigate the role that
the upper ocean plays in TC intensi!cation and the use of ocean parameters in forecasting TC intensity. |
