Tropical Meteorology

Tropical Meteorology is a branch of meteorology that focuses on atmospheric phenomena occurring in tropical regions, typically between the latitudes of 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south. This field studies the dynamics, thermodynamics, and physical processes of the atmosphere in warm climates. Key topics within tropical meteorology include the formation and development of tropical cyclones (such as hurricanes and typhoons), monsoons, and the interactions between the atmosphere and oceans, particularly the impacts of phenomena like El Niño and La Niña. The research in this area is crucial for understanding weather patterns, climate variability, and predicting severe weather events that can have significant impacts on the environment and human activities.
