This study investigates the intensification of tropical cyclones (TCs) that encounter oceanic cyclonic eddies (CEs) across global ocean basins from 1993 to 2021. TCs of all intensity levels are likely to intensify when passing over CEs, with more than 33% of them having experienced intensification. These intensification events mainly occur in regions where sea surface temperatures (SSTs) exceed 26°C. This spatial distribution...
