Tropical Cyclone Activity over the Indian Ocean in the Warmer Climate

  • Chapter
Monitoring and Prediction of Tropical Cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Climate Change

Abstract

Research efforts focussed on assessing the potential for changes in tropical cyclone activity in the greenhouse-warmed climate have progressed since the IPCC (Inter-Governmental Panel for Climate Change) assessment in 1996. Vulnerability to tropical cyclones (TCs) becoming more pronounced due to the fastest population growth in tropical coastal regions makes it practically important to explore possible changes in tropical cyclone activity due to global warming.
