In this book, he illustrated cyclone observations by various methods, forecasting including storm surge that formed into the Bay of Bengal and hit into the various region of coastal areas of Bangladesh. He showed the statistical information about cyclone with time between 1877-1995 into the Bay of Bengal and their monthly variations. He also represented the economic loss and life and propensity damage statistics.
2. Ali, (1999) discussed about the coastal morphology with their regional patterns. Tropical cyclone that form into the Bay of Bengal and that hits the littoral countries between 1877 -1995. He also discussed the frequency and intensity of cyclone with change the climatic components. The losses due to cyclone, number of death, surge height is also discuss is thin research. Present and projected sea level change and coastal erosion and adaptation with natural disaster are also highlighted in this
