Application of weather prediction models for hazard mitigation planning: a case study of heavy off-season rains in Senegal

Fall, Souleymane; Niyogi, Dev; Mohanty, U.; Kumar, Anil - In: Natural Hazards 41 (2007) 1, pp. 227-243

Heavy off-season rains in the tropics pose significant natural hazards largely because they are unexpected and the popular infrastructure is ill-prepared. One such event was observed from January 9 to 11, 2002 in Senegal (14.00° N, 14.00°␣W), West Africa. This tropical country is...

Sea-breeze-initiated rainfall over the east coast of India during the Indian southwest monsoon

Simpson, Matthew; Warrior, Hari; Raman, Sethu; … - In: Natural Hazards 42 (2007) 2, pp. 401-413

Sea-breeze-initiated convection and precipitation have been investigated along the east coast of India during the Indian southwest monsoon season. Sea-breeze circulation was observed on approximately 70–80% of days during the summer months (June–August) along the Chennai coast. Average...

Variation of coastal atmospheric boundary layer characteristics with convective activity along the west coast of India during the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment (ARMEX) 2002

Sam, N.; Mohanty, U.; Routray, A.; Basu, S. - In: Natural Hazards 42 (2007) 2, pp. 361-378

This paper investigates the characteristic features of the coastal atmospheric boundary layer (CABL) along the west coast of India during the south-west monsoon (SWM) 2002. Extensive surface and upper-air findings were obtained during the same period from the Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment...

A Study on the Impact of Parameterization of Physical Processes on Prediction of Tropical Cyclones over the Bay of Bengal With NCAR/PSU Mesoscale Model

Mandal, M.; Mohanty, U.; Raman, S. - In: Natural Hazards 31 (2004) 2, pp. 391-414

Prediction of the track and intensity of tropical cyclones is one of the most challenging problems in numerical weather prediction (NWP). The chief objective of this study is to investigate the performance of different cumulus convection and planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization...

An observational perspective on tropical cyclone activity over Indian seas in a warming environment

Mohanty, U.; Osuri, K.; Pattanayak, S.; Sinha, P. - In: Natural Hazards 63 (2012) 3, pp. 1319-1335

The genesis of tropical cyclones (TCs) over Indian seas comprising of Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Arabian Sea (AS) is highly seasonal with primary maximum in postmonsoon season (mid-September to December) and secondary maximum during premonsoon season (April and May). The present study is focused to...

Mitigation of Flooding and Cyclone Hazard in Orissa, India

Chittibabu, P.; Dube, S.; Macnabb, J.; Murty, T.; Rao, A.; … - In: Natural Hazards 31 (2004) 2, pp. 455-485

Storm surges generated by the strong tangential wind stressesand normal atmospheric pressure gradients at the sea surface due to tropical cyclones (TC'S)have been studied with the goal of detecting any significant and systematic changes due to climatechange. Cyclone and storm surge data for the...
