Local-Scale Assessment of Tropical Cyclone Induced Storm Surge Inundation over the Coastal Zones of India in Probabilistic Climate Risk Scenario

Sea-Level Rise

“…4, Unnikrishnan et al (2010) have shown that higher flood risks are also associated with storm surge along the southern part of the east coast of India, where tidal ranges are low. The study by Rao et al (2015) also suggested that in an extreme climate change scenario, there is a high risk of inundation over many regions of Andhra Pradesh, which is along the east coast of India. Extreme sea-level projections for Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta (Kay et al 2015) show an increased likelihood of high water events through the twenty-first century.…”

Predicting Indian Ocean Cyclone Parameters Using an Artificial Intelligence Technique

“…Strong winds are present at the eyewall of a cyclone. The intensity of a cyclone together with the wind speed and the pressure aids in predicting the storm surge, although the spatial extent of the storm and the direction of travel are also important in the prediction process [3,4]. A storm surge is the most devastating component of cyclones, particularly along coastlines that have a highly varying bathymetry, which are plentiful in India.…”
