  • Preparedness and Impact of Cyclone YAAS
    AIR Spotlight - Preparedness and Impact of Cyclone YAAS AIR Spotlight is an insightful programme featured daily on the All India Radio Newsonair. In this program, many eminent panelists discuss issues of importance which can be quite helpful in IAS exam preparation. In this article, the topic of discussion is Preparedness and Impact of Cyclone Yaas. Participants: • Professor Rajendra Kumar Jenamani, Senior Scientist, Head of the National Cyclone Warning Centre, New Delhi. • Ruchika Chitravanshi, Journalist. Context: The panelists discussed the impact of Cyclone Yaas in the eastern states of India and the preparedness against it. Comparison between cyclones Tauktae and Yaas: • Tauktae originated in the Arabian Sea whereas Yaas originated in the Bay of Bengal. • Tauktae had more speed (150-190 km/hr) than Yaas (140-165km/hr). • Tauktae took more time in its landfall than Yaas, hence was more destructive. • Yaas caused more rainfall than Tauktae. • Tauktae affected more areas than Yaas. All western coastal states were affected by it along with Delhi and Uttarakhand. Rainfall in Delhi due to cyclones is a rare phenomenon. Yaas affected Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand. The following table will give further details about cyclones Tauktae and Yaas: Cyclone Tauktae Cyclone Yaas Why does the Bay of Bengal have more cyclones than the Arabian sea? • High sea surface temperatures in the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian Sea. • The Bay of Bengal has another demon on its head, the high rainfall and constant inflow of freshwater from the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers. The surface water gets refreshed continuously by these large rivers, making it impossible for the warm water to mix with the cooler water below, and depressions keep forming.

  • Earth Newsletter May-June
    J.B.BODA May-June 2021 Cyclone Risk in India The extensive coastal belt of India is very vulnerable to the deadly storms known as tropical cyclones. About 4 to 6 such storms originate in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea every year. Tropical cyclones, which are characterised by torrential rain, gales, and storm surges, cause heavy loss of human lives and destruction of property. They also result in extensive damage to standing crops and loss of cattle. The Bay of Bengal cyclones more often strike Odisha-West Bengal coast in October, Andhra coast in November and the Tamil Nadu coast in December. Over 60 percent of the events in the Bay of Bengal strike dierent parts of the east coast of India, 30 percent strike coasts of Bangladesh and Myanmar, and about 13 percent dissipate over the sea itself. The cyclones crossing dierent coastal states are shown in Fig.1. Considering Arabian Sea, a significant number of cyclones dissipate over the sea itself before making any landfall (about 48.5%). Gujarat coast is the most prone for the cyclones developing over the Arabian Sea, with about 23% of total cyclones developing over the Arabian Sea, crossing the Gujarat coast, and 11% each crossing the Pakistan and Oman coasts. Fig.1 (a) Frequency of cyclones/severe cyclones over the Bay of Bengal landfalling over different coastal states during 1891-2019. Fig.1 (b) Frequency of cyclones/severe cyclones over the Arabian Sea landfalling over different coastal states during 1891-2019. Kindly note that the monitoring system over the region has undergone several changes with augmentation of surface observatories, introduction of RS/RW observations during the 1930’s, use of satellites since the 1960s, and implementation of meteorological buoys since 1997.
