Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP) is a measure used to estimate the energy available in the ocean to fuel tropical cyclones (hurricanes or typhoons). It combines the depth and temperature of warm ocean waters. Specifically, TCHP takes into account the heat content of the upper layers of the ocean, typically down to a depth of about 100 meters or more, and focuses on water temperatures that are warm enough (generally above 26.
