The 1996 North Indian Ocean cyclone season featured several deadly tropical cyclones, with over 2,000 people killed during the year. The India Meteorological Department (IMD), which is the basin's Regional Specialized Meteorological Center, tracked nine tropical systems in 1996, and the American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) monitored an additional system. The basin is split between the Bay of Bengal off the east coast of India and the Arabian Sea off the west coast. During the year, the activity was affected by the monsoon season, with most storms forming in June or after October. The first system originated on May 7 in the Bay of Bengal, which is the body of water east of India; the storm developed in tandem with a storm in the southern hemisphere, and ultimately struck Bangladesh. Three storms formed in June. The first struck Oman and later caused devastating flooding in Yemen, killing 338 people and causing $1.2 billion in damage. The other two storms struck opposite sides of India, collectively resulting in 226 deaths after causing widespread flooding. After a brief land depression in July and a weak depression in early October, the season featured four notable cyclones beginning in late October. A low pressure area moved across southern India, killing 388 people before taking an unusual track in the Arabian Sea. In the end of October, a deep depression killed 14 people in Bangladesh. The strongest cyclone of the season was also the deadliest, killing 1,077 people when it struck Andhra Pradesh in early November. The final storm of the season executed a rare loop in the Bay of Bengal before weakening and striking southern India in early December, killing seven. ==Season summary== ImageSize = width:900 height:200 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:80 right:50 left:20 Legend = columns:3 left:30 top:58 columnwidth:270 AlignBars = early DateFormat = dd/mm/yyyy Period = from:01/05/2013 till:01/01/2014 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMinor = grid:black unit:month increment:1 start:01/05/2013 Colors = id:canvas value:gray(0.88) id:GP value:red id:TD value:rgb(0.5,0.8,1) legend:Depression_=_≤51_km/h_(≤31_mph) id:DD value:rgb(0.37,0.73,1) legend:Deep_Depression_=_52–61_km/h_(32–38_mph) id:TS value:rgb(0,0.98,0.96) legend:Cyclonic_Storm_=_62–87_km/h_(39–54_mph) id:ST value:rgb(0.80,1,1) legend:Severe_Cyclonic_Storm_=_88–119_km/h_(55–73_mph) id:VS value:rgb(1,0.76,0.25) legend:Very_Severe_Cyclonic_Storm_=_118–165_km/h_(73–102_mph) id:ES value:rgb(1,0.56,0.13) legend:Extremely_Severe_Cyclonic_Storm_=_166–221_km/h_(103–137_mph) id:SU value:rgb(1,0.38,0.38) legend:Super_Cyclonic_Storm_=_≥222_km/h_(≥138_mph) Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Hurricane bar:Month PlotData= barset:Hurricane width:10 align:left fontsize:S shift:(4,-4) anchor:till from:07/05/2013 till:08/05/2013 color:DD text:"BOB 01" from:09/06/2013 till:12/06/2013 color:TS text:"02A" from:12/06/2013 till:16/06/2013 color:TD text:"BOB 02" from:17/06/2013 till:20/06/2013 color:ST text:"ARB 01" from:26/07/2013 till:28/07/2013 color:TD text:"LAND 01" barset:break from:01/10/2013 till:02/10/2013 color:TD text:"BOB 03" from:22/10/2013 till:28/10/2013 color:ST text:"ARB 02" from:27/10/2013 till:29/10/2013 color:DD text:"BOB 04" from:04/11/2013 till:07/11/2013 color:VS text:"BOB 05" from:27/11/2013 till:07/12/2013 color:VS text:"BOB 06" bar:Month width:5 align:center fontsize:S shift:(0,-20) anchor:middle color:canvas from:01/05/2013 till:31/05/2013 text:May from:01/06/2013 till:30/06/2013 text:June from:01/07/2013 till:31/07/2013 text:July from:01/08/2013 till:31/08/2013 text:August from:01/09/2013 till:30/09/2013 text:September from:01/10/2013 till:31/10/2013 text:October from:01/11/2013 till:30/11/2013 text:November from:01/12/2013 till:31/12/2013 text:December The India Meteorological Department (IMD) in New Delhi – the official Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for the northern Indian Ocean as recognized by the World Meteorological Organization – issued warnings for tropical cyclones developing in the region, using satellite imagery and surface data to assess and predict storms.〔 The agency also utilized a tropical cyclone forecast model that used climatology and a storm's persistence to forecast future movement. Warnings and advisories were broadcast throughout India by telegraph and news media.〔 The basin's activity is sub-divided between the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal on opposite coasts of India, and is generally split before and after the monsoon season. Storms were also tracked on an unofficial basis by the American-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center.〔 According to the JTWC, activity in the basin was 60% greater than average, with eight tropical cyclones. Four of these storms attained hurricane intensity – winds of at least 120 km/h (75 mph) – which was a record at the time.〔 The IMD also tracked nine tropical disturbances, including one that developed over land, which is below average of 13 systems. Five of the storms formed from October to December, after the end of the monsoon season. In general, storms moved slower than average, and two of the cyclones took unusual tracks near land – one executed a rare loop in the Bay of Bengal, and another turned abruptly away from the Indian state of Gujarat.〔 During June, a series of storms affected India in the height of the monsoon season. Two storms on opposite sides of the country contributed to the northward progression of the monsoon.〔 Continued rainfall from the monsoon led to additional flooding. As of July 24, flooding from widespread rains had killed 731 people across India. The floods also wrecked 368,420 houses and ruined of crop fields. The monsoon became reestablished over open waters on October 9, spawning two storms in the basin that month. There were two simultaneous storms on opposite sides of India in October, which would not happen again until 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1996 North Indian Ocean cyclone season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
