the coast of bangladesh has a specialty in terms of high bending and many off- shore islands. incorporation of the coastline and island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme is essential for accurate estimation of water levels due to surge. for that purpose a numerical scheme consisting of very fine mesh is required along the coastal belt, whereas this is unnecessary away from the coast. in...

The predictability of Cyclone Sidr in the Bay of Bengal was explored in terms of track and intensity using the Advanced Research Hurricane Weather Research Forecast (AHW) model. This constitutes the first application of the AHW over an area that lies outside the region of the North Atlantic for which this model was developed and tested. Several experiments were conducted to understand the possi...

Immediate relief distribution activities are primarily focused on after a cyclonic event in Bangladesh, where proper long-term recovery and rehabilitation efforts not strategized with much significance. This study concentrated understanding assessing the status effectiveness of post-cyclone programmes to improve lives cyclone-affected households southwestern Bangladesh. aims examine efficiency ...
