On the reasons and quantified prevalent ocean atmosphere roles for the intensification and genesis features of the ESCS Tauktae.

ABSTRACT: Tauktae was an Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm (ESCS) that occurred in the Arabian Sea (AS) during 14-19 May 2021. The present study investigates the prevalent role of the ocean/atmosphere on the genesis and intensification of it, and causative ocean-met factors from a climatological and current perspective; and tries to understand the reason of intensification though it was close (~ 140 km) to the coast. In general, the climatological Genesis Potential Index (GPI) is higher off the Indian west coast during the cyclone seasons, in which, low-level absolute vorticity (ABV) and mid-tropospheric relative humidity (RH) have major roles to play. Sea surface temperature (SST), RH, and ABV have shown a rapidly increasing trend in the last decade comparing the previous three decades. Before the ge
