Abstract

The present study is focused on the movement and impact of extremely severe tropical cyclone ‘Fani,’ which developed in the Bay of Bengal near the Equator during April 2019 and caused a severe impact on landmass due to high wind speed (max.180 km/h) and extreme precipitation (150–300 mm/day). The multi-satellite-based study exhibited that the cyclone remained in the oceans for a longer duration (7 days; 70% of its life span) since its formation, providing a substantial strength and moisture to travel a very long trajectory (2136 km on the ocean and 1040 km on land). The high-intensive Fani cyclone had severely affected a large area in the eastern Indian subcontinent (primarily Odisha, West Bengal, Assam in India and Bangladesh). The precipitation pattern over the landmass was estimated using temporal tropical rainfall measurement mission (TRMM) satellite dataset. The TRMM-based study exhibited a very high-intensity precipitation (>300 mm/day) in the Bay of Bengal, whereas high- (150–300 mm/day) to low-intensity precipitation (
