Predicting cyclone intensities in the Indian Ocean has been a challenging problem. The variability of the bathymetry of the
Indian coast can skew the predictions of land fall resulting in variable storm surge height. In addition to atmospheric
parameters and sea surface temperature, upper ocean heat storage reflected in oceanic eddies has become an important
factor in understanding cyclone intensity. [Source: EOS Newspaper of the American Geophyscial Union]
