16 Data and Methodology The sudden change in track may occur due to sudden change in direction of movement leading to recurvature of the TC, sudden increase in speed of movement and sudden decrease in speed in movement leading to quasistationarity of the TC. While sudden increase/decrease in speed of movement, especially near the coast caused not only the forecast difficult, but also put the TC disaster management into disarray. So all the three types of sudden changes in track, as mentioned above have, been considered in this study for detailed analysis.
17 Data and Method For the purpose of analysis, the classification of the intense lowpressure systems as adopted by India Meteorological department(imd)/ Regional Specialised Meteorol,ogical Centre (RSMC), New Delhi (IMD, 2003) has been considered Low pressure system Maximum sustained winds Low < 17 knots < 31 kmph Depression kts kmph Deep Depression kts kmph Cyclone kts kmph Severe Cyclone kts kmph Very Severe Cyclone kts kmph Super Cyclone 120 kts & above 222 kmph & above

19 Data and Methodology 1. Six hourly best track data of cyclones over north Indian Ocean since 1990 in digital form hourly data in cyclone Atlas during (Web E Atlas) E Data from are also available in hard copies in 1979 edition of cyclone Atlas
20 Sudden change in direction of movement Out of 33 TCs developed during , 8 TCs had sudden change in direction of movement It consists of two over the AS and six over the BOB. The analysis indicates that both the sudden changes in tracks over the AS occurred when the TC lay to the north of 15 0 N. On the other hand, there are cases of such changes occurring in the BOB to the south of 13 0 N (2 out of 6) While there has been a single case of looping track (over AS), most of the sudden changes in direction have occurred towards right of the previous direction of movement (6 out of 8, 75%). Considering the season of occurrence of such tracks, It has occurred more frequently during pre monsoon (March May) season (5) than in postmonsoon (October December) season (3)
21 Sudden change in direction of movement Recurvature towards right may be attributed to the fact that the TCs over the NIO, while move towards more northerly latitude may recurve towards right under the influence of the deep trough in middle and upper tropospheric westerlies lying to the left of the TC centre. More cases in pre monsoon season may be due to recurvature under influence of trough in westerlies which is predominant in pre monsoon season. Another feature which contributed to the sudden change in direction of movement towards right is the middle/ upper tropospheric steering ridge/ anti cyclonic circulation lying to the east of the TC centre
22 Translation speed and sudden change in direction of TCs
23 Translation speed and sudden change in direction of TCs
24 Translation speed and sudden change in direction of TCs
25 Translation speed and sudden change in direction of TCs
26 Translation speed and sudden change in direction of TCs To summarise, the translation speed gradually decreases for about 24 hrs period pror to change in direction of movement. Minimum translation speed becomes about 10 kmph in most of the cases This is true for both cases of increase in northerly and southerly components during the change
27 Impact of MJO on sudden change in track : The track is less sensitive than the genesis and intensity of the cyclonic disturbances over the north Indian Ocean Favourable phases for genesis and intensification are 3, 4 and 5 Genesis of Thane occurred when MJO index was in Phase 4(25 Dec,2011) MJO index then gradually moved with amplitude > 1 through phase 5 to phase 6 Though there was northward movement till 27 th, Thane moved west southwestwards during Dec 2011
28 Impact of MJO on sudden change in track : The track is less sensitive than the genesis and intensity of the cyclonic disturbances over the north Indian Ocean as seen in case of NILAM also (28 31 Oct, 2012) Change in direction took place on 29 th and 30 th with more northnorthwestward movement. there was no significant change in location of MJO index. It continued to be in phase 2, though it slightly moved eastwards on 29 th and 30 th.
29 Impact of Convection sudden change in track : 27 Dec 2011/0500UTC 12.2N/87.0E 27 Dec 2011/1000UTC 12.2N/86.6E Area of intense convection changed from morthern sector to soutwest sectior on 27th 28 Dec 2011/0300UTC 12.N/85.5E 28 Dec 2011/1000UTC 12.N/84.0E
30 Impact of Convection sudden change in track 28 Dec 2011/1700UTC 12.1N/84.0E 29 Dec 2011/0300UTC 11.9N/82.3E 28 Dec 2011/1400UTC 12.0N/84.0E 29 Dec 2011/0500UTC 11.8N/82.1E Area of intense convection consolidated around system centre gradually on 29th
31 Impact of convection on sudden change in track Southward shifting of area of intense convection is also seen in DWR imageries
32 Impact of convection on sudden change in track : Area of intense convection again shifted to north at the time of landfall
33 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track Example : Very Severe Cyclonic storm Thane
34 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track
35 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track
36 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track
37 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track
38 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track Example : Cyclonic storm NILAM (28 Oct 01 Nov, 2012) Anti cyclone located to northeast of system Ridge extended southward on 26th
39 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation on sudden change in track Anti cyclone located to northeast of system Ridge extended southward on 27th
40 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation Anti cyclone is less marked Extension of ridge to south reduced
41 Impact of steering ridge, vorticity and large scale circulation
42 Track Forecast verification of Cyclonic Storm, NILAM The track of cyclone Thane (28 31 Oct 2012) with rapid change in direction followed the principle of interaction between the TC, convection and anticyclonic circulation Using this principle, the change in track could be predicted well l in advance Considering the NWP models, the track could be better predicted by ECMWF model Track Forecast Error, NILAM Lead Period (hr) Error (km)
43 Track Forecast verification of Very severe Cyclonic Storm, THANE The track of cyclone Thane (25 31 Dec 2011) with rapid change in direction followed the principle of interaction between the TC, convection and anticyclonic circulation Using this principle, the change in track could be predicted well l in advance Considering the NWP models, the track could be better predicted by ECMWF model
44 An examples of landfalling Cyclones Very severe cyclonic storm Thane (25 31 Dec. 2011) Landfall of Thane occurred near Cuddalore on 30 th December 2011(morning) Landfall error : 24 hrs : 20 km, 48 hrs : 160 km, 72 hrs : 140 km k Death toll was only 46 due to improved early warning alongwith preparedness and management Forecast on 26 th Dec Morning (four days prior to landfall) Observed Track
45 Rapid movement near coast There were 9 out of 33 TCs developed during , which moved rapidly while approaching the coast. It consists of two over the AS and seven over the BOB. The analysis indicates that rapid movement took place mostly with the straight movers or with minimal recurvature.. Such TCs are also higher over the BOB (7) than over the AS (2). The rapid movement could take place in all latitudes. There is also no seasonal bias in the occurrence of rapidly moving TCs as almost equal number of such TCs occurred in both pre monsoon and postmonsoon seasons. Rapid movement in case of northeastward recurving system is mainly under influence of the trough in middle and upper tropospheric westerlies,reason for rapid movement in case of westward moving TCs needs further investigation.
46 Translation speed and Rapid movement of TCs Translation speed can go upto kmph
47 Slow movement near coast There were seven out of 33 TCs during which showed slow movement near the coast. It includes 2 over AS and 5 over the BOB. It consisted of one looping TC over the AS and three recurving TCs over the BOB. The slow moving TCs mostly occurred to the south of 15 0 N in both BOB and AS unlike the rapidly moving TCs and TC showing sudden change in direction. The role of land surface processes in accelerating and retarding the speed of TC approaching the coast needs investigation.

50 Summary Translational speed of TC decreases to less than 10 kmph 24 hrs preceding the sudden change in track The interaction between TC, convection and steering ridge mainly determine the sudden change in direction of movement of TC MJO does not seem to be very influential in causing sudden track changes direction of movement of TCs mostly occur at higher latitudes (north of 15 0 N over AS and north of 13 0 N over BOB). Stationarity of TC near the coast needs further investigation Reason for rapid movement in case of westward moving TCs needs further investigation. Also, the role of land surface processes in accelerating and retarding the speed of TC approaching the coast needs investigation.
51 Conclusions Sudden change in direction before landfall and rapid increase in intensity before landfall creates problems for disaster management apart from increasing the forecast error. Currently, forecasters are able to predict rapid intensification based on nowcasting basis (upto 6 hrs) using microwave products to evaluate the trend in upper tropospheric warming, low level wind and burst of convection in association with favourable factors like low vertical wind shear. But is not sufficient for disaster managers Hence there is need to improve the NWP models and dynamical statistical models for RI Comparing existing models, ECMWF model performs better in predicting sudden change in track and intensity. There is need to factor in the interaction of storm scale with mesoscale and convection scale in the NWP models with better data assimilation and increased resolution.
