Abstract

In this study an attempt has been made to critically examine the intensity of the 25 May 1985 Bangladesh cyclone during the various stages of its development and relate it to the damages caused by it. With the help of enhanced infrared pictures and cloud top temperature contours, it was possible to fix the peak intensity rat T 4.5 in Dvorak's scale. The peak wind velocity and the tidal wave reported to have been reached during the cyclone agree reasonably well with the intensity derived with the help of satellite pictures.
