Abstract

The India cyclone hazard model is a dynamic model that simulates cyclone behaviour using mathematical formulations. It estimates the expected wind speeds, surge heights, and depth-averaged current fields along the coast for any cyclone. It can be used on a real-time basis for predicting multiple scenarios of winds and surges that could be generated by an approaching cyclone. Its resolution is about 1 km X 1 km. It has an option for the user to select any part of a coastal region to know the localised storm impact. Also, it has the capability of generating a 48 hours forecast of an incoming cyclone in a few minutes. Reliability of this model has been tested from about 200 cyclones of various categories that struck the coastal region of India during the period 1910 to 2012. It has the facility of providing wind fields at the lowest level of ward and village and PIN code levels which is useful for understanding cyclone risk for Insurance and reinsurance purpose.
