ABSTRACT
Due to long Indian coastal line of 7517 Km India is more vulnerable to
coastal flood, soilerosion, tropical cyclone, Tsunami. In India every year five or six
tropical cyclones are form in Bay of Bengal and strike the east coast of India. Out of
this two or three cyclones could be severe and more hazardous to human life. Cyclones
occur frequently on both the coasts (The west coast Arabian Sea; and the east coast
Bay of Bengal). More cyclones occur in the Bay of Bengal than in the Arabian Sea
and the ratio is approximately 4: 1.In India, Tropical cyclones occur in the months of
May-June and October-November. The cyclones of severe intensity and frequency in
the north Indian Ocean are bimodal in character, with their primary peak in November
and secondary peak in May. The disaster potential is particularly high at the time of
landfall in the north Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea) due to the
accompany ingdestructive wind, storm surges and torrential rainfall. Of these, storm
surges are the greatest killers of a cyclone, by which sea water inundates low lying
areas of coastal regions and causes heavy floods, erodes beaches and embankments,
destroys vegetation and reduces soil fertility. In this research paper we are discussing
formation of cyclones and its parameters. How GIS and remote sensing is beneficial
before and after cyclone to reduce causalities and damage of life and property.
