Abstract
The teleconnections between the occurrence of El-Niño events and the generation of tropical cyclones in various ocean basins have been considered by several authors. Here we present data linking storm surges in the Bay of Bengal with El-Niño. In fact this preliminary study shows that there is no correlation between El-Niño occurrences and Storm Surge Events in the Bay of Bengal.
