This analysis explores ocean heat content's role in cyclone rapid intensification, suggesting its inclusion in forecasting models.

Cyclone Amphan experienced rapid intensification due to exceptionally high ocean heat content values in the Bay of Bengal.
OHC in the intensification region surpassed the 60 kJ cm⁻² threshold, reaching over 100 kJ cm⁻², facilitating cyclone growth.
Using Argo float observations and Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential datasets, this study assessed the cyclone's atmospheric and oceanic factors.
Incorporating ocean heat content monitoring could significantly enhance operational forecasts for cyclones affecting vulnerable communities.

K. Bhattacharya (2025) studied this question.
