INDIA METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT. MINISTRY OF EARTH SCIENCES. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA . MARCH, 2021. PREFACE. A tropical CYCLONE (TC) is a multihazard weather phenomenon, as it leads to heavy rainfall, gale wind and storm surge during the landfall. It also effects severely the marine activities during its life over the Sea. Though fewer tropical cyclones (about 7 % of global frequency) occur over the north Indian Ocean (NIO), it causes heavy loss of life and property over the region.
A "Cyclonic Storm' or a "Cyclone" is an intense vortex or a whirl in the atmosphere with very strong winds circulating around it in anti-clockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere and in clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. The word "Cyclone" is derived from the Greek word 'Cyclos" meaning the coil of a snake.
