Abstract

Characteristic features of Super Cyclonic Storm (SuCS), AMPHAN which crossed West Bengal-Bangladesh Coast on May 20, 2020 have been analyzed based on INSAT-3D & passive microwave (PMW) images with special emphasis on eye characteristics and its relationship with intensity. These satellite images/products are analyzed to determine the centre of the cyclone, its intensity and the characteristics of the eye of the cyclone. It shows the characteristic variation of intensity of SuCS with geometric and thermal characteristics of the ‘eye’. Precise changes in the eye features of the cyclone can be used for very short-range forecasting of the intensity of the cyclone.
