Hydrologic Response of Upper Ganga Basin to Changing Land Use and Climate
(2018-04-17)Numerous studies indicate that the hydrology of a river basin is influenced by Land Use Land Cover (LULC) and climate. LULC affects the quality and quantity of water resources through its influence on Evapotranspiration ... -
Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Land Cover Classification and Chlorophyll Content Estimation using Advanced Machine Learning Techniques
In the recent years, remote sensing data or images have great potential for continuous spatial and temporal monitoring of Earth surface features. In case of optical remote sensing, hyperspectral (HS) data contains abundant ... -
Hyperspectral remote sensing for soil property estimation in the context of spectral mixtures
The implementation of sustainable agricultural, hydrological, and environmental management entails an improved understanding of soil properties and its conditions at increasingly finer resolutions. In this context, the ... -
Identification of crystalline structures of clathrate hydrates during molecular simulations using machine learning
Molecular simulation is a powerful tool that links a system’s microscopic behaviour to its macroscopic observable features. The data obtained from a molecular simulation act as a digital microscope, i.e., it contains ... -
Identification Tools For Smeared Damage With Application To Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements
(2011-01-10)Countries world-over have thousands of critical structures and bridges which have been built decades back when strength-based designs were the order of the day. Over the years, magnitude and frequency of loadings on these ... -
Impact Angle Constrained Guidance Using Cubic Splines
(2018-06-05)In this thesis the cubic spline guidance law and its variants are derived. A detailed analysis is carried out to find the initial conditions for successful interception. The results are applied to three dimensional ... -
Impact Assessment Of Climate Change On Hydrometeorology Of River Basin For IPCC SRES Scenarios
(2010-09-28)There is ample growth in scientific evidence about climate change. Since, hydrometeorological processes are sensitive to climate variability and changes, ascertaining the linkages and feedbacks between the climate and the ... -
Impact of 3D distribution of Black Carbon aerosols in the atmosphere on aerosol radiative forcing over the Indian region
Black Carbon (BC) aerosols are produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials. While they constitute an insignificant mass-fraction of the composite atmospheric aerosols, their measurement is essential in ... -
Impact of Atmospheric Aerosols on Free-Space Optical Communication Systems
Free–space optical (FSO) communication is a wireless technology with an unguided laser signal carrying a large volume of data through the atmosphere. Numerous advantages such as higher bandwidth, high security, easy ... -
Impact Of Dynamical Core And Diurnal Atmosphere Occean Coupling On Simulation Of Tropical Rainfall In CAM 3.1, AGCM
(2010-12-30)In first part of the study we discuss impact of dynamical core in simulation of tropical rainfall. Over years many new dynamical cores have been developed for atmospheric models to increase efficiency and reduce numerical ... -
Impact Of Large-Scale Coupled Atmospheric-Oceanic Circulation On Hydrologic Variability And Uncertainty Through Hydroclimatic Teleconnection
(2010-06-14)In the recent scenario of climate change, the natural variability and uncertainty associated with the hydrologic variables is of great concern to the community. This thesis opens up a new area of multi-disciplinary research. ... -
Impact of Local and Remote Land-Atmosphere Coupling on the Indian Summer Monsoon
India lies on the edge of the Asian summer monsoon domain and receives almost 80% of its annual rainfall during June to September (referred as Indian summer monsoon rainfall: ISMR). The dominant forcing behind inter-annual ... -
Impact of Orography on the Simulation of Monsoon Climate in a General Circulation Model
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-28)Orography plays a major role in the general circulation and climate of the tropics. Although many works have been done on the impact of global orography on summer monsoon, the previous studies have examined the impact on ... -
Impact of river runoff into the ocean on climate in a coupled model
In order to study the impact of global runoff, sensitivity experiment (NoRiv) was carried out by shutting down the entire runoff into the ocean for a period of 200 years. The changes in NoRiv, compared to the reference ... -
Impacts of Climate Change on IDF Relationships for Design of Urban Stormwater Systems
(2018-01-29)Increasing global mean temperature or global warming has the potential to affect the hydrologic cycle. In the 21st century, according to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), alterations in the frequency ... -
Implicit Gradient Reconstruction for Unstructured Mesh Finite Volume Method
In the present work, an Implicit Gradient Reconstruction (IGR) method is proposed in the context of Finite Volume Methodology (FVM). There are three computationally intensive steps involved in a typical finite volume ... -
Implicit Least Squares Kinetic Upwind Method (LSKUM) And Implicit LSKUM Based On Entropy Variables (q-LSKUM)
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-10-12)With increasing demand for computational solutions of fluid dynamical problems, researchers around the world are working on the development of highly robust numerical schemes capable of solving flow problems around complex ...
