ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

The science of the super cyclone is examined and deconstructed by an Indian meteorological team monitoring the weather in the area. It also follows the unique efforts of two scientists in Australia, who are working to record the geological signatures left by super cyclones that have hit the Australia coast in the past 5,000 years. Can their study give an insight into the science and nature of cyclones?
