Tropical cyclone forecast models anticipated significant strengthening to winds of 115 mph (185 km/h) once an anticyclone aloft became established, although the NHC noted that "it [was] difficult to visualize such intensification with the present poorly defined pattern observed on satellite, and knowing that the global models tend to get rid of westerlies too fast".
Ample scope is available for the use of process intensification techniques with an objective of making the synthesis economically viable and one such intensification approach is based on the use of sonochemical reactors.
As such, intensification was not expected beyond minimal tropical storm status.
Such intensification met the criterion for explosive deepening, an average hourly pressure decrease of at least 2.5 mbar.
Such intensification was particularly evident during the first part of movement duration.
More detailed examination of the timing and temporal sequence of the uplift of the northern TP, along with climatic changes such as intensification of the EASM and EAWM, desertification of inland Asia, reduction of ISM precipitation in northern India, and the pCO2 decrease/global cooling is necessary in the future.
However, there are problems associated with agricultural intensification; such as soil erosion, eutrophication or pollution of water bodies with chemicals, landscape homogenization and loss of biodiversity; for which solutions have not yet been found.
The use of SC-CO2 can provide valuable industrial advantages such as intensification and simplification of the processes, with consequent savings on chemicals, utilities and processing time.
However, such an intensification strategy carries risk of increased hypoglycaemia and weight gain, both of which are associated with worse long-term outcomes.
Possible combinations of sonochemical reactors with other techniques of intensification such as use of microwave and hydrodynamic cavitation will also be discussed.
