Abstract

During the month of November 2009, coastal districts of Maharashtra were severely hit by a cyclonic storm ‘phyan’ that devastated the coastal structures and adversely impacted marine fisheries and allied activities. This cyclonic storm developed as a tropical disturbance, south-west off Colombo in Sri Lanka on 4th November, 2009. Over the next couple of days the disturbance gradually developed before weakening, as it made landfall on southern India on 7th November. After the disturbance emerged into the Arabian Sea, it rapidly became more marked and early on 9th November, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported that the disturbance intensified into a depression and designated it as Depression ARB 03
