Question

what is energy potential of a cyclone

what do you understand by energy potential of a cyclone

Answer 1

Tropical cyclone damage potential, as currently defined by the Saffir-Simpson scale and the maximum sustained surface wind speed in the storm, fails to consider the area impact of winds likely to force surge and waves or cause particular levels of damage. Integrated kinetic energy represents a framework that captures the physical process of ocean surface stress forcing waves and surge while also taking into account structural wind loading and the spatial coverage of the wind. Integrated kinetic energy was computed from gridded, objectively analyzed surface wind fields of 23 hurricanes representing large and small storms. A wind destructive potential rating was constructed by weighting wind speed threshold contributions to the integrated kinetic energy, based on observed damage in Hurricanes Andrew, Hugo, and Opal. A combined storm surge and wave destructive potential rating was assigned according to the integrated kinetic energy contributed by winds greater than tropical storm force. The ratings are based on the familiar 1–5 range, with continuous fits to allow for storms as weak as 0.1 or as strong as 5.99.

Answer 2

what do you understand by energy potential of a cyclone

Explanation:

• The cyclone is a very large air mass that moves around the strong center of low atmospheric pressure and is characterized by the inward moving winds and has several other characteristics that also mature with the eye of the storm and compared with the pressure of the outside balanced by the Coriolis effect.

• Cyclogenesis related to the development of the strengthening of the cyclone formation and energy they derive is from the warm surface temperatures, atmospheric instability, high humidity in the low and a low vertical wind share, a pre-existing low level of disturbance.  

• Thus on an average of 86 tropical cyclones forms, 47 reach a hurricane typhoon strength and  20 become the intense tropical storm. And it's estimated that these storms release about 50 to 200 exajoule heat energy as when they attain the max wind speed.
