Tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes or typhoons, form over warm ocean waters near the equator. They develop when warm air rises over the ocean, creating a low-pressure system that spins due to the Earth's rotation. As the system intensifies, sustained winds reaching a certain speed classify it as a tropical cyclone. These storms, with a calm center called the eye surrounded by a powerful eyewall, can bring strong winds, storm surges, and heavy rainfall, posing a significant threat to coastal areas. Advanced meteorological technologies and satellite observations are crucial for monitoring and predicting these storms, providing early warnings to mitigate their impact.
