Abstract

An approach to tropical cyclogenesis is considered, based on the idea of the transition from the stage of a sea storm to the stage of a hurricane as a process when heat release from the ocean to the atmosphere is not balanced by heat transfer from the atmosphere to the ocean, as a result of which a surge in vertical heat fluxes at the interface of these media can be expected. The results of testing this approach for a number of tropical hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico and in the tropical Atlantic are presented based on data on latent and sensible heat fluxes at the ocean surface from the HOAPS satellite archive. The influence of blind spots formed as a result of the divergence of the scanning bands of the microwave radiometers of DMSP satellites on the representativeness of the HOAPS archive data in the studied areas is estimated.
