Aerosol Absorption And Source Characteristics Over Different Environments
(2010-11-02)Extremely fine liquid droplets or solid particles, those remain suspended in the air, are known as aerosols. They are produced by natural sources and anthropogenic activities. Several types of aerosols produced by different ... -
An Assessment Of The Simulation Of Monsoon And Inter Tropical Convergence Zone In Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Models
(2010-10-08)Monsoons and Intertropical Convergence Zones (ITCZ) exhibit variability at various temporal and spatial scales. The temporal scale of variability encompasses scales from the intraseasonal through interannual to interdecadal ... -
Biennial Oscillation Of Indian Summer Monsoon And Global Surface Climate In The Present Decade
(2010-12-08)The ENSO-monsoon system is known to have a biennial component. Here we show using high resolution satellite data, mainly daily rainfall and sea surface temperature (SST) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), ... -
Changes In The Duration-Depth Characteristics Of Indian Monsoon Rainfall During 1951-2000
(2010-11-22)Several previous studies have found that various characteristics of the Indian monsoon rainfall have shown secular changes over the past century. In this study, using a gridded (1degree) daily rainfall dataset, we analyse ... -
The Changing Nature Of Rainfall Annual Cycle And The Propagation Characteristics Of The Intraseasonal Oscillations In Flood And Drought Years Of The Indian Monsoon
(2010-08-30)Using a 50-year (1951-2000) gridded (1-degree) daily rainfall data set over the Indian land region, we study two main aspects of the Indian monsoon. The first aspect deals with the changing nature of the rainfall annual ... -
Cloud Properties Over SHAR Region Derived From Weather RADAR Data
(2011-01-18)Weather radars are increasingly used for the study of clouds, understanding the precipitation systems and also for forecasting very short range weather (one hour to a few hours). Now, Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) data are ... -
Data Assimilation Experiments Using An Indian Ocean General Circulation Model
(2008-09-09)Today, ocean modeling is fast developing as a versatile tool for the study of earth’s climate, local marine ecosystems and coastal engineering applications. Though the field of ocean modeling began in the early 1950s along ... -
Fine-Scale Structure Of The Diurnal Cycle Of Global Tropical Rainfall
(2016-11-16)The fine-scale structure of global (30N-30S) tropical rainfall is characterised using 13 years (1998-2010) of 3-hourly and daily, 0.25-degree Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 rainfall product. At the outset, ... -
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 ... -
Influence of River Discharge on Climate in A Coupled Model
(2018-04-05)River discharge can affect ocean surface temperature by altering stratification within the oceanic mixed layer. A hitherto unexplored aspect of present climate is the feedback of river runoff onto climate. This thesis ... -
Intraseasonal Variability Of The Equatorial Indian Ocean Circulation
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Climatological winds over the equatorial Indian Ocean (EqlO) are westerly most of the year. Twice a year, in April-May ("spring") and October-December ("fall"), strong, sustained westerly winds generate eastward equatorial ... -
Intraseasonal Variations In Sea Level Pressure And Association With Tropical Convection
(2010-07-19)This thesis deals with tropical intraseasonal variation (TISV) having time scales in 20-80 day range. Variations on this time scale have been observed to have profound influence on the weather and climate of the entire ... -
Investigation Of Aerosol Characteristics Over Inland, Coastal And Island Locations In India
(2011-02-10)This thesis is based on measurements of aerosol optical and microphysical properties made at inland, coastal and island locations in India. Aerosol vertical distribution measurements have also been made both using surface ... -
An Investigation On Role Of Surface Reflectance And Aerosol Model In Remote Sensing Of Aerosols From Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Over India
(2010-07-21)The Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites have provided a global distribution of aerosols. The space-based inversion of MODIS measurements requires assumption about ... -
Modeling of Solar Radiation Management : A Comparison of Simulations using Reduced Solar Constant and Stratospheric Aerosols
(2017-11-22)The climatic effects of Solar Radiation Management (SRM) geoengineering have been often modeled by simply reducing the solar constant. This is most likely valid only for space sunshades and not for atmosphere and surface ... -
An Ocean General Circulation Model Study Of The Arabian Sea Mini Warm Pool
(2009-07-17)The most important component of the climate system over the Indian Ocean region is the southwest monsoon, which dictates the life and economy of billions of people in the tropics. Being a phenomena that involves interaction ... -

Role Of Sea Surface Temperature Gradient In Intraseasonal Oscillation Of Convection In An Aquaplanet Model
(2016-11-15)In this thesis we examine intra-seasonal oscillations (ISO) in the aqua-planet setup of the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM) version 5.1, mainly based on July and January climatological sea surface temperature (SST). We ...
