Tropical cyclones in India Sample Clauses

Tropical cyclones in India. The Indian peninsula, sandwiched between the Bay of Bengal on the east, the Arabian Sea on the west, and lying just north of the Indian Ocean, is situated in an area that is heavily conducive to powerful tropical cyclones. The geologic characteristics of the Bay of Bengal in particular, including its exceptionally warm waters, depth, and concavity, make it a prime breeding ground for the world’s strongest storms (Biswas, 2020). Of the 36 deadliest tropical cyclones in history, 26 originated in the Bay of Bengal and 10 eventually made landfall with significant casualties in India. Over 3/4 of the storms in my sample originated in the Bay of Bengal, with the others originating in the less prolific Arabian Sea. As the largest bay in the world with over 500 million people living on the coast as of 2020, it has profound effects on the quality of life and long-term economic well-being of those in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. India is particularly at-risk, with over 5,700 kilometers of disaster- prone coastline.‌ 3 Data This paper combines spatial data on tropical cyclone tracks with district-level survey data on children and their mothers, including birth outcomes, demographic characteristics of the mother, fertility histories, and various facets of child and maternal health outcomes and behaviors.‌
