अरब सागर में चक्रवातीय गतिविधि में वृद्धि के लिए उत्तरदायी कारकों पर चर्चा कीजिए। (उत्तर 150 शब्दों में दीजिए) / Discuss the factors responsible for increased cyclonic activity in the Arabian Sea. (Answer in 150 words)

Open scan (p.15)

Introduction

According to IMD, since 1950, the frequency of total cyclones in Indian in Arabian Sea has increased to 35-40%.

19 words

Main Body

Factors responsible:

1. Increased SST Rise - sea-surface temperature due to global warming, 1.1°C since 1900s; [illegible] maritime heatwaves (cumulus); cyclone bipolarity stayed for (17 days); provides moisture for long days

2. Increased temperature - more evaporation; more instigation

Factors continued:

3. More ionization

4. More ionization in Arabian - more cyclones

5. Western disturbances - are seducing - leading to more cyclones

6. Increasing stratification - less mixing of layers of sea

7. Influence of lead rivers flowing in Arabian Sea, i.e. Bay of Bengal - lack of cold warming

Results:

1More cyclonic storms
2Storm surges
3Displacement
4Rapid landfall - cloud burst - urban flooding

Conclusion

Thus, the SST of Arabian Sea needs to be monitored for better assessment of cyclone EWS.
