Summary
Hurricane Intensification
refers to the process by which a
Tropical Cyclone
increases in strength, typically characterized by a drop in
Central Pressure
and an increase in
Maximum Sustained Winds
. This phenomenon is influenced by various factors, including
Sea surface temperatures
,
Atmospheric Moisture
,
Wind Shear
, and
Ocean Heat Content
, and is critical for
Predicting the potential impact
and
Severity of hurricanes
.
