Abstract
This study has been undertaken to find out the variation of central pressure (intensity) of intense Tropical Cyclones (TCs) with Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Mid-tropospheric Relative Humidity (MRH), Mid-tropospheric Instability (MI), Vertical Wind Shear (VWS), 200-hPa divergence, and Surface Latent Heat Flux (SLHF) during the lifetime intense TCs. This study also aims to determine the most crucial parameter which shows the highest correlation with central pressure (intensity) of intense TCs during their lifetime. Out of all these parameters, SLHF is highly correlated (R = 0.74) with the central pressure (intensity) of intense TCs. Increase and decrease of SLHF correspond to decrease and increase of TCs central pressure (increase and decrease in TCs intensity). The highest SLHF corresponds to the lowest central pressure (highest intensity).
期刊介绍:
MAUSAM (Formerly Indian Journal of Meteorology, Hydrology & Geophysics), established in January 1950, is the quarterly research
journal brought out by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). MAUSAM is a medium for publication of original scientific
research work. MAUSAM is a premier scientific research journal published in this part of the world in the fields of Meteorology,
Hydrology & Geophysics. The four issues appear in January, April, July & October.
