The Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic (ERIC) is a research initiative aimed at improving the understanding and prediction of rapidly intensifying hurricanes (tropical cyclones) in the Atlantic Ocean. Rapid intensification is defined as a substantial increase in a cyclone's maximum sustained winds over a short period, often leading to significant impacts when these storms make landfall.
