Research Highlight
The study investigated the formation, intensification, behaviour, and prediction of Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm 'Fani (2019)' in the Bay of Bengal using the NCMRWF global numerical weather prediction model (NCUM). 'Fani' was a highly intense storm that made landfall in Orissa, India in May 2019. The global model (resolution ~12 km) successfully captured the storm's genesis, intensification, and movement. The predicted tracks closely matched the observed best-track data provided by the India Meteorological Department. The study attributed the storm's formation and intensification to the warm sea surface temperatures in the Bay of Bengal.
