Table 3.5 Monthly distribution of storms during 1842 to 1995 Month Total number of storms 13-24° N 76-99° E 200 km radius January 7 0 February 1 0 March 1 0 April 28 0 May 79 14 June 120 72 July 188 139 August 198 137 September 198 116 October 175 61 November 97 20 December 34 5 During October 1999, two cyclones formed in the Bay of Bengal and crossed Orissa Coast. The cyclone during 14-19 October crossed at Gopalpur and the ‘Super Cyclone’ (25-29 October) crossed at Paradeep on 29.10.1999. Tracks of those two cyclones are shown in Figure 3.6. A depression formed at 13.8° N; 92.8° E on 15.10.1999 intensified into a cyclonic storm, moved west north west and crossed at Gopalpur on 19.10.1999. Another depression which formed on 25.10.1999 at 12.8° N; 98° E, moved rapidly and intensified into a severe cyclonic storm with core of hurricane winds. The severe cyclone further intensified into a ‘Super cyclone’ and crossed at Paradeep on 29.10.1999. The lowest sea level pressure recorded at Paradeep was 963.1 mb. The maximum wind speed estimated was 260 km/hr and the radius of maximum wind was 10-15 km. While crossing the coast, the super cyclone produced 5.5 m storm surge above CD, which inundated land upto about 30 km inland. During the period of our observations, a monsoon depression formed in the head Bay of Bengal on 16.9.2005, moved closer to the study area and finally crossed at Kalingapatnam, (Andhra Pradesh), on 19.9.2005. Track of the depression is shown in Figure 3.7. 50
3.2.5 Visibility The monthly average visibility based on the India Meteorological observations at Paradeep is presented in Table 3.6. Visibility is less in July and August compared to other months. 3.3 PHYSICAL PROCESSES 3.3.1 Tides Tides in the area are mixed, semidiurnal type with an average spring tide range of 1.87 m and a neap tide range of 0.7 m (Paradeep Port Tide Table, 2005). Tidal levels at Paradeep are presented below. Highest astronomical tide (HAT) +3.06 m Mean high water springs (MHWS) +2.58 m Mean high water neaps (MHWN) +2.02 m Mean sea level (MSL) +1.66 m Mean low water neap (MLWN) +1.32 m Mean low water spring (MLWS) +0.71 m Mean lower low water springs (MLLS) +0.64 m Chart Datum (CD) 0.00 m 51
