Abstract

Tropical cyclones (TCs) rank among the most destructive atmospheric phenomena. The very severe cyclonic storm Titli formed over the Bay of Bengal on 8 October 2018 and crossed the Indian coast. In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting model performed reasonably in simulating the intensity of Titli with a 60h lead time. The model accurately represented the spatial distribution of latent heat flux (LHF) and skilfully captured the warm‐core structure. The area‐averaged values of LHF and relative vorticity at different atmospheric levels are calculated. A notable finding is the strong correlation between upper level atmospheric conditions and tropical cyclone intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
