Abstract
The Bay of Bengal is a potentially energetic region for the development of cyclonic storms and accounts for about 7% of the global annual total number of tropical storms (Gray, 1968). These storms, in particular the post-monsoon storms, are highly devastating causing loss of life and damage to property, especially when they cross the coastal states of India and Bangladesh (De Angelis, 1976). Therefore, reasonably accurate prediction of the Bay of Bengal cyclones is of great importance to avoid or reduce the loss of life and damages to property.
