Understanding tropical cyclones involves studying their intensity, classification, and the environmental factors that influence their formation and intensification. These factors include sea surface temperatures, vertical wind shear, and interactions with land or other weather systems. The text also explores methods for assessing cyclone intensity, such as the Dvorak technique and metrics like Accumulated Cyclone Energy.
