| Abstract | Tropical cyclones are one of the most frequent natural disasters that occur in India. These systems are associated with high winds and heavy rains and cause widespread damage to both life and infrastructure upon interaction with the land. Tropical Cyclone Amphan, pronounced as ⿿Um-pun⿿ meaning ⿿sky⿿ formed over the Bay of Bengal and went on to develop into a super cyclonic storm. It became the first super cyclone to form over the Bay of Bengal after two decades since the 1999 Odisha cyclone. The system crossed West Bengal on 20th May 2020 and caused extensive damage in eastern parts of India particularly in West Bengal, Odisha and Bangladesh. TC Amphan underwent rapid intensification as it developed from a cyclonic storm (CS) to a super cyclonic storm (SuCS) in about 40 hours. In the due course, it also broke the Final ⿿T no⿿ constraints of the Dvorak Technique. In the present case study, we show how the satellite imagery and products can prove useful in identifying the signals of rapid intensification of Tropical Cyclones. |
