Abstract. The areas of origin of hurricanes in the tropical region of the North Atlantic for the period 1995–2023 are identified and the degree of their localization relative to tectonic faults at the ocean bottom is estimated. The role of tropical (African) waves in the atmosphere in the localization of the areas of origin of tropical hurricanes in the Mid-Atlantic ridge, characterized by high hydrothermal activity, is illustrated. The temporal dynamics of the total moisture content of the atmosphere and the fluxes of latent and sensible heat at the ocean surface in this area during the formation of hurricanes are investigated.

Key words: satellite microwave radiometry, tropical hurricanes and waves, tectonic faults, atmospheric total water vapor content, surface heat fluxes.

Financing: This study was carried out as part of the State Task of the Kotelnikov IRE RAS.
