Study on storm Surge event due to Cyclone AILA

摘要

The Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) driven by NCEP reanalyzed forcing fields together with QuickScatt wind observations, has been used to study evolution of surges in the Northern Bay of Bengal (adjacent to West Bengal Coast of India) due to Cyclone AIL A (24-25 May 2009 ). The model was, very consistent and able to simulate basic sea level variation very well. A comparison with observation at aparticular location (near Digha) was also provided. The results show that ROMS model is robust enough toreproduce surge impact very consistently.
