It also includes tropical cyclone (TC) management issues like early warning systems, recent high impact TC events, disaster preparedness, assessment of risk and vulnerability including construction, archiving and retrieval of the best tracking and historical data sets, policy decision etc., in view of recent findings on climate change aspects and their impact on TC activity. The chapters are authored by leading experts, both from research and operational environments. This book is relevant to cyclone forecasters and researchers, managers, policy makers, graduate and undergraduate students. It intends to stimulate thinking and hence further research in the field of TCs and climate change, especially over the Indian Ocean region and provides high-quality reference materials for all the users mentioned above for the management of TCs over this region Notes Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 14, 2013) Subject Cyclones -- Tropics -- Congresses Cyclone forecasting -- Tropics -- Congresses Cyclones -- Tracking -- Congresses Climatic changes -- Tropics -- Congresses SCIENCE -- Earth Sciences -- Geography.
