Description 470-475
Gonu was the strongest tropical cyclone to hit
the region since records began in 1945. In June 2007, cyclone Gonu made
landfall in Oman,
affecting more than 20000 people and killing 50, before reaching the Islamic
Republic of Iran. In Iran,
roads and electricity networks were destroyed by the winds and floods. A cargo
ship sank in the coastal waters of Haghani jetty in Bandar-Abbass. Analysis of
hourly sea level recorded by tide gauges of the National Cartographic Center of
Iran (NCC) at Jask and Bandar-Abbas provides a record of non-tidal sea level
during the period of 6–7 June 2007, when cyclone crossed the south coast of Iran. Analysis
shows that historical NCC tide-gauge data would be useful for testing the
numerical models that are now emerging as an important component of defense
from storm surges in the coast.
