THE RADAR FIXES OF TROPICAL CYCLONIC STORMS

Odisha is a natural disaster prone state. Its geographical location contributes a lot for the disasters. The eastern Indian state has a 480 Kilometre long coastline. The Bay of Bengal which is the house of cyclonic storms is the major contributor for the calamities in the state. From time immemorial till today Odisha has been facing hundreds of calamities in the form of cyclones, floods and famines. It is a regular phenomenon that in the period of September to December every year Odisha faces varieties of cyclones. These affect human life, properties and agriculture to the maximum extent. After the super cyclone of 1999 the government became sensitive so also the media. In these two decades Odisha media has played a vital role in creating awareness about the disasters and helped people in displacement and rehabilitation. In recent pasts media helped the Government in reaching the “Zero Casualty” target. The role of media not only limited to this, even post-disasters it followed the condition of people and their lives. The researcher takes some case studies of different disasters and their handling by media. Also tries to find out the people’s perception about media in disaster preparedness and management.

Cyclonic Storms

Helmholtz and most, if not all, subsequent writers on vortex motions have, except in obtaining the fundamental equations, confined themselves to fluid of invariable density.In the following paper are considered some simple systems of vortices in a compressible fluid. To show that such systems are of considerable importance it is sufficient to refer to the phenomena of cyclonic storms. It may be as well, however, to state that though the vortices are here treated as compressible, the circumstances are still so different from those found in nature that the results obtained could bear only a general resemblance at most to the phenomena of storms.
