what indicates the strength of a cyclone?
The Maximum Potential Intensity.
Tropical cyclone
The maximum potential intensity is predominantly a function of the background environment alone (i.e. without a tropical cyclone), and thus this quantity can be used to determine which regions on Earth can support tropical cyclones of a given intensity, and how these regions may evolve in time. Specifically, the maximum potential intensity has three components, but its variability in space and time is due predominantly to the variability in the surface-air enthalpy difference component formula_11.
what is the pressure at the center of a hurricane The cyclone's lowest barometric pressure occurs in the eye(the center) and can be as much as 15 percent lower than the pressure outside the storm. why are they considered to be a threat? In the center of the eye, however, the waves converge from all directions, creating erratic crests that can build on each other to become very high rogue waves. what are other twisters that have similar formations?

Tropical cyclone [SEP] Maximum potential intensity
This upper bound is called the "maximum potential intensity", formula_7, and is given by where formula_9 is the temperature of the sea surface, formula_10 is the temperature of the outflow ([K]), formula_11 is the enthalpy difference between the surface and the overlying air ([J/kg]), and formula_12 and formula_13 are the surface exchange coefficients (dimensionless) of enthalpy and momentum, respectively. The surface-air enthalpy difference is taken as formula_14, where formula_15 is the saturation enthalpy of air at sea surface temperature and sea-level pressure and formula_16 is the enthalpy of boundary layer air overlying the surface. The maximum potential intensity is predominantly a function of the background environment alone (i.e.
