Hurricane is induced as the transfer of heat to the atmosphere and ocean through a process of evaporation. Evaporation of water which is at the sea surface is being enhanced by the hurricane's surface winds and their work is to transport water vapor into the stratosphere and it is during this time sea surface with the response to evaporation.

In tropical oceans, sea surface temperature is warmer than that of deeper water below the surface within an ocean layer referred to as thermocline.

There is a primary process which is under hurricane vertical mixing and this occurs because of hurricane's surface winds and due to friction it exerts stress on ocean surface generation ocean current in an oceanic mixed layer.
