Trend Analysis of Atmospheric and Oceanic Variables and Their Compound Effect on Tropical Cyclones in the Arabian Sea
A new study examines how atmospheric and oceanic variables shape tropical cyclone genesis and intensity in the Arabian Sea, using ERA5 reanalysis and HYCOM model data spanning 2005‑2020. The analysis reveals that mixed‑layer ocean heat content (OHC) is rising, while thermocline OHC is increasing even faster, both at statistically significant rates. Spatial patterns show the east‑south sector of the Arabian Sea becoming increasingly conducive to cyclogenesis, whereas the north‑west sector shows a decline. The research links these trends to variations in the Genesis Potential Index (GPI) and Potential Intensity (PI).
