The 2002 Oman cyclone (JTWC designation: 01A, officially known as Cyclonic Storm ARB 01[1]) was a tropical cyclone that struck the Dhofar region of Oman in May 2002. The first storm of the 2002 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, it developed on May 6 in the Arabian Sea, and it maintained a general west-northwest track for much of its duration.

Waves up to 4 m (13 ft) lashed the coast of Oman, though no coastal flooding occurred. Wind gusts reaching 106 km/h (66 mph) affected some areas of Oman, while light winds were reported in Al Ghaydah, Yemen. The storm brought heavy rainfall to the Dhofar region of Oman, peaking at 251 mm (9.9 in) in the city of Qairoon.

2019年6月1日 · On May 6, 2002, a cyclonic storm formed in the Arabian Sea and by May 9 it had escalated into a cyclone, exhibiting winds greater than 65 km/h. On May 10 the cyclonic storm landed at Salalah, set a record as the heaviest rainfall in Dhofar in 36 years, and resulted in a wadi flash flood.

During 2002, tropical cyclones formed within seven different tropical cyclone basins, located within various parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Throughout the year, a total of 123 tropical cyclones formed, of which 80 tropical cyclones developed enough to be named by either a Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) or a ...

2018年5月24日 · The 2002 Oman cyclone was an uncommon tropical cyclone that struck the Dhofar region of Oman in May 2002. The system reached cyclonic storm status on May 9, after it attained winds of greater than 65 km/h (40 mph), and on May 10 it made landfall near Salalah; shortly thereafter it dissipated.

In this study we examine the impact of tropical cyclones on the maritime archaeology of Oman with emphasis on the Dhofar region. This paper builds on existing coastal research in the Dhofar region—an area identified as the most cyclone-prone administrative region in Oman, but also an area that contains substantial archaeological remains.

2018年6月8日 · This study delineates and maps the flood damage to infrastructure and cities along Dhofar’s coast from extreme storm surge in 2002. The 2002 storm was the first storm to hit Oman that resulted in $50 million worth of infrastructural damage since the onset of …

This study uses a 3Di hydrodynamic model and a damage model to quantify the flood extent and flood damage due to the 2002 cyclonic storm (ARB01) and to identify vulnerable infrastructure in two watersheds: Zayk and Ghadow. The impact of the storm is assessed under present day and predicted 1.41 m sea level rise (SLR) conditions.
