"Cyclone intensity" refers to how strong and powerful a cyclone or hurricane is. It measures how fast the winds are blowing and how much damage the cyclone can cause. Full definition
While the new formula, which accounts for both temperature and salinity, can be used to forecast tropical cyclone intensity in real time, it can also be applied to the results of climate modeling to provide scientists with a framework to evaluate changes in future tropical cyclone activity.

The Dvorak technique is a methodology to get estimates of tropical cyclone intensity from satellite pictures. (aoml.noaa.gov)
One of our main goals is to obtain input from forecasters and assist them in their preeminent role of predicting tropical cyclone intensity changes. (eos.org)
