Increasing Vulnerability of Arabian Sea Towards Cyclonic Storms
摘要
India has a coastline of about 7516 km. Even though the North Indian Ocean (NIO) only spawns 7% of cyclones, its devastating effect is comparatively very high in India. Cyclone genesis in Arabian Sea was very less compared to Bay of Bengal due to its unfavourable climatology for cyclone genesis. Changes in the climatology of Arabian Sea are increasing its vulnerability to tropical cyclones. This study reveals the impact of climate change in the increasing vulnerability of Arabian Sea to cyclone genesis.
