Nivar Cyclone: Its Impact on Andhra Pradesh
INTERNATIONALJOURNALOF MULTIDISCIPLINARYEDUCATIONALRESEARCH ISSN:2277-7881; IMPACT FACTOR :6.514(2020); IC VALUE:5.16; ISI VALUE:2.286 Peer Reviewed and Refereed Journal: VOLUME:10, ISSUE:1(3), January :2021 Online Copy Available: www.ijmer.in NIVAR CYCLONE: ITS IMPACT ON ANDHRA PRADESH Uppala Gopayya Ph.D. Research Scholar Department of Political Science & Public Administration Acharya Nagarjuna University,Guntur,A.P Abstract Historical records show that the Bay of Bengal (BoB) basin, with the highest disaster and death tolls, had the most deadly cyclones. The North Indian Ocean has the largest number of tropical cyclones in this basin, and the frequency is almost five times greater than in the Arabian Sea (AS). The semi-enclosed structure of this basin, in combination with its funnel form, steers the cyclone path that hits the ground. The four maritime states located on the east coast of India are highly vulnerable to tropical cyclones. One of them, Andhra Pradesh has been exposed to frequent hydrological and meteorological hazards due to variations in the geographical and bathymetric characteristics like tropical cyclones generated by the Bay of Bengal. To reduce risk in coastal areas, understanding of hazard factors and threat risk levels is important. Five out of nine districts along the coastal Andhra Pradesh were slightly damaged and three districts (Chittoor, Kadapa and Kurnool) severely damaged due to cyclone Nivar. The state government has deployed eight NDRF and six SDRF teams in 4 districts and has been able to prevent much of the disaster by providing relief measures. Based on a preliminary assessment, 1.12 lakh people, more than 1,400 km of roads, 2,706 animals and crops on about 5 lakh acres were affected.

THE HINDU EXPLAINS Relevant For: Geography | Topic: Important Geophysical Phenomenon - Tropical Cyclones
Source : www.thehindu.com Date : 2020-11-30 THE HINDU EXPLAINS Relevant for: Geography | Topic: Important Geophysical Phenomenon - Tropical Cyclones The story so far: Cyclone Nivar, that barrelled through Tamil Nadu and brought copious rain in its wake, was the third major cyclone to land on India’s coast this year, besides Amphan and Nisarga. The Nivar storm originated in the Bay of Bengal and whipped up windspeeds close to 125-145 kmph, blowing away roofs and felling standing crop. However, relatively fewer lives were lost compared to the havoc wreaked by Amphan in West Bengal in May. What aided relief operations in the anticipation of Nivar was that it largely conformed to forecasts issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Cyclone Nivar | In pictures Over the years, India’s ability to track the formation of cyclones has improved significantly. There is a network of 12 doppler weather radars (DWR) along India’s coast if one were to begin counting from Kolkata and trawl up to Mumbai — there are 27 in all in the country. Depending on where a storm is forming, these radars send pulses of radio waves to gauge the size as well as the speed at which water droplets are moving. The earlier generation of radars was unable to track such progress in real time, but with DWRs, now the base standard of weather radars, it is usually possible to detect a potential storm at least four-five days in advance. The IMD also collaborates with similar international networks, such as the Japan Meteorological Agency, the U.S.
