Abstract: Hourly tide gauge data of 15 years duration were used to estimate the return periods of extreme sea level events (storm surges) along the Indian coasts. The impacts of cyclones and storm surges in the coastal regions of the Indian coasts during the past 50 years are documented as a data base. Mean sea level rise along the Indian coast is estimated for selected stations. Results of regional climate model (HadRM2) are analysed for future climate to determine the frequency distribution of cyclones in the north Indian Ocean during a control scenario and a scenario with doubled concentration of green house gases. A storm surge model was developed for the Bay of Bengal and simulations were made using HadRM2 winds.
