Intensity of severe cyclonic storms increasing in North Indian Ocean region: Study

According to a new study by Indian scientists, the intensity of severe cyclonic storms in the North Indian Ocean region has been increasing over the last four decades.

The intensity of severe cyclonic storms in the North Indian Ocean region has shown an increasing trend in the past four decades, according to a recent study by Indian scientists. The increasing intensity of severe cyclonic storms with major socioeconomic implications was due to atmospheric parameters like higher relative humidity, especially at mid-atmospheric level, weak vertical wind shear as well as warm sea surface temperature (SST).
