Abstract

Long term trends in the frequencies of cyclonic disturbances (i.e. depressions and cyclonic storms) and the cyclonic storms forming over the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea during the southwest monsoon season (June-September) have been studied utilizing 110 years data from 1890-1999. There have been significant decreasing trends in both the frequencies but the frequency of cyclonic disturbances has diminished at a faster rate. The trend analysis shows that the frequency of cyclonic disturbances has decreased at the rate of about six to seven disturbances per hundred years in the monsoon season. The frequency of cyclonic storms of monsoon season .has decreased at the rate of , one to two cyclones per hundred years.
