Timely
and accurate prediction of the cyclone life cycle from genesis to dissipation
is a challenging scientific problem. Though solutions from numerical models
have resolved many complex physical processes responsible for cycloneformation, development and dissipation, many issues are to be unfolded. Thus,
in addition to improving the understanding of the physics of the problem,
critical examination of input parameters that are used in the numerical models
is also important.

Along with a number of atmospheric parameters, Sea Surface
Temperature (SST) is the only oceanographic parameter used in the models for
cyclone prediction. However, cyclones interact with the upper layer of the
ocean rather with the sea surface skin temperature represented by SST alone. A
number of studies have shown a relationship between the thermal structure of
the ocean and cyclone intensity (CI). For example, using a coupled ocean-atmospheric
model, Mao et al. Read More>>>>>>
