However, training does not go so well. Can Lightning McQueen win the Piston Cup? Or will he get ousted by the fierce Jackson Storm… again? Open your TV and see that movie now! 2 DHRUV TIMES 03.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Cyclone will cross Maharashtra coast between 1pm and 4pm Nisarga will make landfall as 'severe cyclonic storm' close to Alibag, 94 kms south of Mumbai on Wednesday afternoon with a wind speed of 100-110 kmh gusting to 120 kmh. IMD says it will affect the coastal districts of Maharashtra, including Mumbai, Gujarat and other neighbouring states. "The cyclone will cross Maharashtra coast between Harihareshwar and Daman, very close to Alibag between 1pm and 4pm. While crossing the coast it will have strong winds of 100-120kmph over Mumbai, Thane and Raigad districts of Maharashtra," said Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, DGM, IMD. My, this is getting more serious than serious! First COVID, then Locusts and now this. This is getting to be horrendous! 3 DHRUV TIMES 03.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Virat Kohli shares a hilarious incident when MS Dhoni frowned on him and Rohit Sharma for their miscommunication Indian top-order heavyweights, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, might be the best in white-ball cricket presently, but they have had their own share of miscommunication with each other. Whenever the two bat, spectators are treated with elegant strokeplay, providing a feast for the eyes. However, the two do not communicate that well when it comes to running between the wickets or while fielding, as mentioned by Kohli recently. The two have been involved in a number of run-outs in One-Day cricket. Now, Kohli has shared an incident during the 2012 Asia Cup game against Pakistan, where their miscommunication led to the then Indian captain, MS Dhoni, frowning at them. 4 DHRUV TIMES 03.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION During the match, Pakistan, on the back of Nasir Jamshed and Mohammad Hafeez were well on course to post a mammoth total. Timo Werner: Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have 12 days to buy forward for less than £50m Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have 12 days to trigger Timo Werner's release clause if they want to sign him for less than £50m. The Germany international striker's €55m (£49m) release clause at RB Leipzig runs out on Monday June 15. Werner's first-choice destination is still Liverpool but the Premier League leaders are not willing to pay the release clause in the current climate. Werner wants to move to a Champions League club, where he will play regularly. A few weeks ago, it had been assumed Leipzig could be tempted to sell Werner for a lower fee after the clause expires, the thinking being that the coronavirus pandemic would cause prices to drop when the transfer window opens. 5 DHRUV TIMES 03.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Arturo Vidal ‘has a place’ at Barcelona, says Andres Iniesta Andres Iniesta has been talking up Arturo Vidal and says the Chile international midfielder definitely has a place at Barcelona. There were a few eyebrows raised when Barcelona brought him in from Bayern Munich in summer 2018, but he’s gone on to become an important squad member. Vidal has weighed in with six La Liga goals this season, despite being a substitute more often than a starter, and Iniesta has been full of praise for the 33-year-old. “Arturo Vidal is a great player, that’s nothing new. He is a fundamental part of the teams he has played for and the national team. There are many opinions about the style of Barcelona, but a great player like him obviously has a place. “He covers a lot of ground. He goes forward a lot, tracks back. He links up well and is a very physically strong player. He is very capable of playing for a team like Barcelona. Teams have to look for variability.” 6 DHRUV TIMES 03.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Memes 7 DHRUV TIMES 03.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Joke Time Why did the God of Thunder need to stretch his muscles so much when he was a kid?

Owing to its long coastline, high density of population and large number of urban centers along the coast, tropical cyclones over the time are having a greater impact on the community and damage the infrastructure. Secondly, the climate change is warming up oceans to increase both the intensity and frequency of cyclones. Hence, it is important to garner all the information and critically assess the impact and manangement of the cyclones. Cyclone Gaja was one of the major cyclones to hit the Tamil Nadu coast in November 2018. It lfeft a devastating tale of destruction on the cyclone path damaging houses, critical infrastructure for essential services, uprooting trees, affecting livelihoods etc in its trail.

    CHAPTER 3.3 ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION & WEATHER SYSTEMS Atmospheric Pressure The weight of a column of air contained in a unit area Isobar is a line connecting points that from the mean sea level to the top of the atmosphere have equal values of pressure. Isobars are is called the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric analogous to the contour lines on a relief pressure is expressed in units of milibar. At sea level the map. The spacing of isobars expresses average atmospheric pressure is 1,013.2 milibar. Due the rate and direction of change in air to gravity the air at the surface is denser and hence has pressure. This change in air pressure is higher pressure. referred as pressure gradient. The distribution of atmospheric pressure over the globe is known as horizontal distribution of pressure. It is shown on maps with the help of isobars. The horizontal distribution of atmospheric pressure is not uniform in the world. It varies from time to time at a given place; it varies from place to place over short distances. The factors responsible for variation in the horizontal Air Pressure : The fundamental rule about distribution of pressure are as follows: gases is that when they are heated, they Air Temperature: The earth is not heated uniformly become less dense and expand in volume because of unequal distribution of insolation, and rise. Hence, air pressure is low in diff erential heating and cooling of land and water equatorial regions and it is higher in polar surfaces. regions. Along the equator lies a belt of Generally there is an inverse relationship between low pressure known as the “equatorial low air temperature and air pressure.

  • NASA Catches Tropical Cyclone Titli Headed for Landfall in India 11 October 2018
    NASA catches Tropical Cyclone Titli headed for landfall in India 11 October 2018 On Oct. 10 at 11 p.m. EDT (Oct. 11 at 0300 UTC) Tropical Cyclone Titli had maximum sustained winds near 90 knots (103 mph/166 kph). It was centered near 9.1 degrees north latitude and 84.4 degrees east longitude, approximately 312 nautical miles southwest of Calcutta, India. Titli tracked west- northwestward. Titli came ashore near Palasa in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. Heavy rainfall is forecast for the districts of Ganjam, Gajapati, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, and Kendra. The storm has taken 7 lives. Strong winds battered many parts of the state of Andhra Pradesh and neighboring Odisha. By October 13, JTWC expect Titli to dissipate over land. NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite provided this visible image of Tropical Cyclone Titli early on Oct. 10, 2018 Provided by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center when its eye was over the Bay of Bengal, Northern Indian Ocean. Credit: NASA Worldview, Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS)/ NOAA The Joint Typhoon Warning Center or JTWC issued the final warning on Tropical Cyclone Titli after it made landfall on the northeastern coast of India late on Oct. 10. NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite captured an image of the large storm before landfall. The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument aboard NASA-NOAA's Suomi NPP satellite analyzed Tropical Cyclone Titli in visible light early on Oct. 10 when its eye was over the Bay of Bengal, Northern Indian Ocean. Titli stretched from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh northeast into West Bengal.

The state is broadly divided into four geographically regions viz. the northern plateau, central river basins, eastern hills and coastal plains. The 480 km long coastline of Odisha is opened to Bay of Bengal. Besides, the State is intercepted by peninsular river systems like Subarnarekha, Budhabalang, Brahmani, Baitarani, Mahanadi, Rushikulya and Vansadhara, apart from a number of tributaries and distributaries. The state is divided into 30 districts for administrative convenience. The 30 districts have been subdivided into 58 sub-divisions and further divided into 314 blocks. INDIA ODISHA State’s vulnerability to various disasters The Odisha state is located in the eastern seaboard of India and is one of the most disaster prone states in the country. The 480 Kms of coastline, the 11 major river systems and the geo-climatic conditions make almost the entire State vulnerable to different disasters, particularly, floods, cyclones, droughts and heat waves.

  • Shared Non-Traditional Security Threats with Its Eastern Neighbours
    JULY 2020 ISSUE NO. 383 BIMSTEC and Disaster Management: Future Prospects for Regional Cooperation SOHINI BOSE ABSTRACT The Bay of Bengal is highly prone to extreme weather events, many of which result in massive disaster. The sub-regional grouping, BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral and Technical Cooperation), took a long time to begin nurturing their collective capabilities in disaster mitigation. It was only after the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, which caused overwhelming devastation in the region, that BIMSTEC identified the area of 'Environment and Disaster Management' among its priorities for cooperation. Since then, however, the Bay littorals have achieved little progress in cooperating towards disaster management. This brief analyses the reasons for such inertia, and explores future prospects.

In the past two decades, Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models (e.g., Advanced Research WRF (ARW)) have been used for the prediction of TCs. Extensive studies were carried out on the prediction of TCs using the ARW model. However, these studies are limited to a single cyclone with varying physics schemes, or single physics schemes to more than one cyclone. Hence, there is a need to compare different physics schemes on multiple TCs to understand their effectiveness. In the present study, a total of 56 sensitivity experiments are conducted to investigate the impact of seven microphysical parameterization schemes on eight post-monsoon TCs formed over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) using the ARW model. The performance of the Ferrier, Lin, Morrison, Thompson, WSM3, WSM5, and WSM6 are evaluated using error metrics, namely Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Square Error (MSE), Skill Score (SS), and average track error.
