What is Advanced Numerical Modeling and Data Assimilation Techniques for Tropical Cyclone Predictions about?

Tropical cyclones (TCs), also known as hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the west Pacific, are one of the deadliest and costliest natural disasters known to humankind. On an average, about 80-90 TCs form globally every year. The Northwest Pacific Ocean is the most active basin, with an average frequency of 20-30 TCs annually. The genesis of TCs over the North Indian Ocean (including the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, together known as the Indian seas) is bimodal, with the primary maximum of cyclonic activity occurring in the post-monsoon season (October-December) and the secondary maximum occurring in the pre-monsoon season (April-May). The typical duration of a TC over the North Indian Ocean is 5-6 days, with severe cyclonic storm intensity persisting for 2-3 days in comparison to six days for the global average. Yet, this subcontinent accounts for the highest number of cyclone-related fatalities. Of the 23 recorded most deadly TCs over the last 300 years (more than 10,000 fatalities), 20 were formed over the Bay of Bengal. Recent studies show that the majority of TC-related deaths are attributed to inland freshwater flooding and storm surge. Although average annual death
