VORTEX: Multi-Parameter Framework for Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification Forecasting

Eight-parameter framework for operational prediction of rapid intensification in tropical cyclones. Integrates ocean heat content, eyewall symmetry, vertical wind shear, humidity, vorticity, convective organization, outflow efficiency, and intensity trends. Validation: 187 cases (2000-2024), 84% accuracy, outperforms SHIPS-RII by 12-18%. Includes VORTEX Heavy AI with LSTM-Transformer for 21 global basins.
