Cyclone Phet. Very Severe Cyclonic Storm Phet[a] (Thai pronunciation: [pʰet]) was a powerful tropical cyclone that made landfall on Oman, Western India, and Pakistan. The third named cyclone of the 2010 cyclone season, Phet developed in the Arabian Sea on May 31 to the west of India. With conducive environmental conditions, the storm ...
The season officially started on May 17, 2010, with Cyclone Laila and ended on December 8, 2010. During the season, cyclones Laila, Phet, Giri and Jal along with Bandu caused excessive life loss across the Indian Subcontinent and the Middle East. This is the only season to have five named storms since the 1998 North Indian Ocean cyclone season.
In Oman, the storm dropped heavy rainfall and produced strong wind gusts, which temporarily stopped oil production. [15] Phet damaged roads and power lines, [84] and washed away hundreds of cars. Damage was estimated at 300 million rials (US$780 million), [14] and there were 24 deaths in the country. [15]
Following is the list of tropical storms that affected Oman, including Muscat, during the 21st century. In 2002, a cyclonic storm hit the Dhofar region of Oman. In 2007, a category 5 Cyclone Gonu caused squally winds and rains to the city of Muscat. [7] In 2010, a category 4 Cyclone Phet brought massive flooding to Muscat during early June. [8]

Cyclone Gonu. Super Cyclonic Storm Gonu was an extremely powerful tropical cyclone that became the strongest cyclone on record in the Arabian Sea. The second named tropical cyclone of the 2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, Gonu developed from a persistent area of convection in the eastern Arabian Sea on June 1, 2007.
Weather reconnaissance aircraft, such as this WP-3D Orion, provide data that is then used in numerical weather forecasts.. The atmosphere is a fluid.As such, the idea of numerical weather prediction is to sample the state of the fluid at a given time and use the equations of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics to estimate the state of the fluid at some time in the future.
The history of numerical weather prediction considers how current weather conditions as input into mathematical models of the atmosphere and oceans to predict the weather and future sea state (the process of numerical weather prediction) has changed over the years. Though first attempted manually in the 1920s, it was not until the advent of the ...
