Investigation info the effect of global change on the potential intensity of tropical cyclones - with focus on southeast asia region. The CMP3 data from multiple global climate models will be utilized to construct maps of maximum cyclone potential intensity (MPI). The calculation of the cyclone intensity in terms of maximum sustained wind and minimum center pressure is based on underlying SST and vertical profile of temperature and humidity. Calculated values of MPI for control climate (current state) will be compared with values obtained under various climate scenarios based on data from CMP3.
