Abstract

Various phenomena can cause changes in the sea surface temperature, including freshwater influx, wind, solar radiation, ocean currents, and evaporation. This study aims to determine the sea surface temperature anomaly caused by the passage of a tropical cyclone. The Nivar tropical cyclone occurred in the Bay of Bengal between November 22 and 27, 2020. Nivars originated from a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal. The Nivar tropical cyclone was monitored based on reports from the Indian Meteorological Department and using data on sea surface temperature, zonal wind component, and meridional wind component from the ERA5 reanalysis products on November 21-28, 2020. The aforementioned data were obtained at a three-hour time step and a spatial resolution of 0.25ͦ (approximately 30 km) one day before, one day after, and during the Nivar event. Given the significant role of sea surface temperature in oceanic processes and climate change, the analysis showed that with the passage of the Nivar cyclone, the temperature changed by one degree Celsius compared with the previous day. Providing a general framework for evaluating the ocean's response to cyclone changes can serve as a foundation for designing early warning systems and crisis management in coastal areas, including the southern coast of Iran.
