Hello gottaknow,
The Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center (Joint Typhoon
Warning Center) has published a series called the "Annual Tropical
Cyclone Report". You can access these reports by using the following
page:
Index of /jtwc/atcr
The Naval Pacific Meteorology and Oceanography Center (Joint Typhoon
Warning Center)
http://www.npmoc.navy.mil/jtwc/atcr/
First, click on the year that you want. Then, for the years 1985 to
1996, click on "pdf", and on the next page, click on "chapter4.pdf";
this chapter contains information on South Indian Ocean cyclones. For
the years 1997 to 2002, click on the year that you want, then on
"Table of Contents", and finally on the chapter title for South
Pacific and South Indian Ocean tropical cyclones, navigating on the
resulting page by clicking the arrows or on items in the left column.
On these pages, you will find the name, dates (periods of warning),
maximum surface winds, path, and point of contact for all cyclones
that hit Madagascar, as well as all other cyclones in the South Indian
Ocean and South Pacific. I figure that you might want to compile the
information from these pages yourself, since some of the cyclones (or
the eyes thereof) do not pass over Madagascar, but do pass very close,
so that you might consider such cyclones to have "hit" Madagascar,
while others might not. If you need any assistance with obtaining
information about a particular year or cyclone, please let me know.
Two other pages that have information on cyclones that have hit
Madagascar in the past several years are:
"Tropical Storms, Worldwide" [under "Storm Data Archives"]
Hawai'i Solar Astronomy [Institute for Astronomy, University of
Hawai'i]
http://www.solar.ifa.hawaii.edu/Tropical/
"Tropical Cyclones" [under "Previous Seasons and Historical Data"]
Australia Severe Weather
http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/
I hope that this information is helpful.
