AB  - Cyclones occur in Bangladesh almost every year and loses lives and properties which hamper the sustainable development. They are usually formed in the deep seas and hence their studies are very difficult.  Space Technology provides valuable information about them and helpful for such conducts. Meteorological satellites are the main sources of information which allow monitoring the formation, development and movement of tropical cyclones. Methodology suggested by D’Vorak is very useful for tropical cyclone analysis which provides cyclone intensity called T-number and corresponding maximum sustained wind speed of the cyclone as well as the pressure around it. Cyclone MOHASEN was initially formed as a low in the Bay near Andaman’s at the 2nd week of May, 2013 and gradually intensified into Cyclonic storm MOHASEN afterwards. It was moving towards north –west direction at the primary stage very slowly and north -westward rapidly in the final stage towards Bangladesh coast. It was gradually intensified but not significantly. The pick was found on 15 May,2013.
