Description A super cyclone with a central pressure of 912 hPa which was the lowest sofar in any tropical cyclone in Bay of Bengal, hit Paradeep coast on 29th October, 1999. The system was stationary for 30 hours after landfall and a record rainfall of 530 mm was observed at Paradeep on 30th October. TMI (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager) SST images for the period, 25th to 31st October have been examined to see the impact of this super cyclone on SST field. A record decrease of 6 degrees C in SST has been observed at 17.4 degrees N; 88.9 degrees E on 29th October, for the first time, due to the passage this super cyclone.
