Abstract

A severe tropical storm hit the East Pakistan- West Bengal coast near Long. 90oE on the night of 11-12 May 1965. Sun-synchronous weather satellite TIROS-9 used to photograph the Bay of Bengal area every day at about 0600 GMr. The first indication of formation of tropical depression was obtained on 7 May and on 12 May it was seen  breaking up. TIROS photographs for these days along with the synoptic situation have been examined in the present paper in order to have a clear idea about the development, intensity, extension and movement of the storm. The storm could be followed fairly systematically during the course of its life cycle. The results of this study is presented in this paper.
