Abstract
Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are intense synoptic scale weather systems which originate over warm oceans of the world, develop into massive vortices composed of swirling winds, intense clouds and torrential rains by drawing energy from the ocean. When they move over land, they cause large scale destruction to life and property over the coastal areas of the world. India, with an extensive coastline of about 7500 km is vulnerable to the destructive features associated with landfalling TCs of the North Indian Ocean (NIO) basin comprising of the Bay of Be ngal (BOB) and the Arabian Sea (AS).
