Cyclone data
Base tracks were obtained from IBTrACS which is repository of all tropical cyclone best track data…
We are going to conduct comparative ecological assessment to understand the damage caused by Nisarg and Tauktae in and around mangroves and non-mangrove ecosystems.
This will help us to understand the significant role played by the various ecosystem as a protector of the coast from the disastrous cyclones.

Dr Roxy Mathew Koll, Scientist, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Lead Author, IPCC Oceans and Cryosphere, said: “Similarity between Cyclone Yaas and Tauktae is that both are preceded by very high sea surface temperatures reaching 31-32 degree Celsius. These high temperatures were conducive for cyclone Tauktae to intensify into an extremely severe cyclone in a short time. Similarly, high temperatures are predicted to assist Yaas also for intensifying rapidly.”
