Cyclone Laila CYCLONE LAILA ORANGE WARNING May 19, 2010 CYCLONIC STORM ‘LAILA’ OVER SOUTHWEST AND ADJOINING WEST‐CENTRAL BAY OF BENGAL: CYCLONE WARNING (ORANGE MESSAGE). Tropical Cyclone LAILA‐10 of Saffir‐Simpson Category 1 affected 20.8 million people with winds above 39mph (63 km/h) and 4.5 million people with hurricane wind strengths (74mph or 119 km/h). In addition, 461 thousand people are living in coastal areas below 5m and can therefore be affected by storm surge. The cyclonic storm ‘LAILA’ over southwest and adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal moved slightly northwards and lay centred at 0530 hrs IST of today, the 19th May 2010 over southwest and adjoining westcentral Bay of Bengal near latitude 13.50N and long. 82.00E, about 190 km east‐ northeast of Chennai, 480 km west‐southwest of Visakhapatnam and 1200 km southwest of Kolkata. The current environmental conditions and Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models suggest that the system is likely to intensify further and move in a northwesterly to northerly direction and cross Andhra Pradesh coast between Ongole and Visakhapatnam by early hours of 20th May 2010. Based on latest analysis with NWP models and other conventional techniques, estimated track and intensity of the system are given in the Table below: Date/Time(IST) Position (lat. 0N/ long. Sustained maximum surface wind 0E) speed (kmph) 19‐05‐2010/0530 13.5/82.0 85‐95 gusting to 105 19‐05‐2010/1130 14.0/81.5 95‐105 gusting to 115 19‐05‐2010/1730 14.5/81.5 105‐115 gusting to 125 19‐05‐2010/2330 15.5/81.5 115‐125 gusting to 135 20‐05‐2010/0530 16.5/81.5 115‐125 gusting to 135 20‐05‐2010/1730 17.5/82.0 95‐155 gusting to 155 21‐05‐2010/0530 18.5/83.0 85‐95gusting to 105 21‐05‐2010/1730 19.5/84.5 75‐85 gusting to 95 Under the influence of this system, north coastal Tamil Nadu and coastal Andhra Pradesh are likely to experience widespread rainfall with scattered heavy to very heavy falls (25 cms or more) and isolated extremely heavy falls during next 48 hours. Gale force wind with speed reaching 65‐75 kmph likely along and off Andhra Pradesh coast during next 48 hours. It may increase to 115‐125 kmph at the time of landfall. Squally winds speed reaching 50‐60 kmph is likely along and off north Tamil Nadu coast during next 24 hours. Named Laila, the tempest is coasting towards the mainland, speeding between 95 and 100 kmph, but is unlikely to hold up the monsoon, a weather bureau official said. WARNING TO FISHERFOLK: The Met department has issued a “severe weather warning”, along with a cyclone alert for Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and, possibly, Orissa. Sea condition will be very high to phenomenal along and off Andhra Pradesh coast and very rough along and off north Tamil Nadu coast. Fishermen are advised not venture into the sea off these coasts.

  • Determining the Sensitive Parameters of WRF Model for the Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in Bay of Bengal Using Global Sensitivity Analysis and Machine Learning
    Determining the sensitive parameters of WRF model for the prediction of Tropical cyclones in Bay of Bengal using Global sensitivity analysis and Machine learning Harish Bakia, Sandeep Chintaa, C.Balajia,∗, Balaji Srinivasana aIndian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai 600036, India Abstract The present study focuses on identifying the parameters from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model that strongly influence the prediction of tropical cyclones over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) region. Three global sensitivity analysis (SA) methods namely the Morris One-at-A-Time (MOAT), Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), and surrogate-based Sobol' are employed to identify the most sensitive parameters out of 24 tunable parameters corresponding to seven parameterization schemes of the WRF model. Ten tropical cyclones across different categories, such as cyclonic storms, severe cyclonic storms, and very severe cyclonic storms over BoB between 2011 and 2018, are selected in this study. The sensitivity scores of 24 parameters are evaluated for eight meteorological variables. The parameter sensitivity results are consistent across three SA methods for all the variables, and 8 out of the 24 parameters contribute 80% − 90% to the overall sensitivity scores. It is found that the Sobol' method with Gaussian progress regression as a surrogate model can produce reliable sensitivity results when the available samples exceed 200. The parameters with which the model simulations have the least RMSE values when compared with the observations are considered as the optimal parameters. Comparing observations and model simulations with the default and optimal parameters shows that predictions with the optimal set of parameters yield a 19.65% improvement in surface wind, 6.5% in surface temperature, and 13.2% in precipitation predictions, compared to the default set of parameters.

Its hallmark is the use of a global cloud-system resolving model (GCRM) that avoids uncertainties arising from cumulus convection schemes inherent to traditional hydrostatic models.

  • 13 January, 2011 Annual Climate Summary of India During 2010
    Government of India Ministry of Earth Sciences India Meteorological Department Press Release Dated: 13 January, 2011 Annual Climate Summary of India during 2010 Salient features Mean annual temperature for the country as a whole during 2010 was +0.93 0C above the 1961-1990 average. It was slightly higher than that of the year 2009, thus making the year 2010 as the warmest year on record since 1901. Considering different seasons, Pre- Monsoon season (March-May) in 2010 was the warmest since 1901 with mean temperature being 1.8 0C above normal The annual total rainfall for the country as a whole was normal during the year 2010 with actual rainfall of 121.5 cm against the long period average (LPA) of 119.7 cm. Seasonal rainfall during monsoon season (June to September) contributes about 75% of total annual rainfall for the country as a whole. Seasonal monsoon rainfall during 2010 was 102% of its LPA of 89 cm. Out of 597 meteorological districts for which data are available, 29% of the districts (173 districts) received excess rainfall, 40% (240 districts) received normal rainfall, 29% (173 districts) received deficient rainfall and the remaining 2% (11 districts) received scanty rainfall during the season. The north Indian Ocean witnessed the formation of eight cyclonic disturbances (depression & above) during 2010 which was far below the normal of 13 disturbances. However, five cyclones formed during 2010 which is the first such year after 1998 when six cyclones formed. There was no depression during monsoon season. Out of five cyclones, three cyclones made landfall with atleast cyclonic storm intensity.

  • Improved Prediction of Bay of Bengal Tropical Cyclones Through Assimilation of Doppler Weather Radar Observations
    NOVEMBER 2015 O S U R I E T A L . 4533 Improved Prediction of Bay of Bengal Tropical Cyclones through Assimilation of Doppler Weather Radar Observations KRISHNA K. OSURI AND U. C. MOHANTY School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar, India A. ROUTRAY National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, Noida, India DEV NIYOGI Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana (Manuscript received 27 November 2013, in final form 16 March 2015) ABSTRACT The impact on tropical cyclone (TC) prediction from assimilating Doppler weather radar (DWR) obser- vations obtained from the TC inner core and environment over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is studied. A set of three operationally relevant numerical experiments were conducted for 24 forecast cases involving 5 unique severe/very severe BoB cyclones: Sidr (2007), Aila (2009), Laila (2010), Jal (2010), and Thane (2011). The first experiment (CNTL) used the NCEP FNL analyses for model initial and boundary conditions. In the second experiment [Global Telecommunication System (GTS)], the GTS observations were assimilated into the model initial condition while the third experiment (DWR) used DWR with GTS observations. Assimilation of the TC environment from DWR improved track prediction by 32%–53% for the 12–72-h forecast over the CNTL run and by 5%–25% over GTS and was consistently skillful. More gains were seen in intensity, track, and structure by assimilating inner-core DWR observations as they provided more realistic initial organization/ asymmetry and strength of the TC vortex. Additional experiments were conducted to assess the role of warm- rain and ice-phase microphysics to assimilate DWR reflectivity observations.
