The Retrieval of Aerosols above Clouds and their Radiative Impact in Tropical Oceans
(2018-03-01)
Aerosols affect the global radiation budget which plays an important role in determining the state of the Earth's climate. The heterogeneous distribution of aerosols and the variety in their properties results in high ...
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 ...
Extended Range Predictability And Prediction Of Indian Summer Monsoon
(2009-03-17)
Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is an important component of the tropical climate system,
known for its regular seasonality and abundance of rainfall over the country. The droughts and floods associated with the year-to-year ...
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 ...
Installation and Operation of Air-Sea Flux Measuring System on Board Indian Research Ships
(2018-07-04)
Exchange of mass (water vapor), momentum, and energy between atmosphere andocean has profound influence on weather and climate. This exchange takes place at the air-sea interface, which is part of the marine ...
Space-Time Evolution of the Intraseasonal Variability in the Indian Summer Monsoon and its Association with Extreme Rainfall Events : Observations and GCM Simulations
(2018-03-01)
In this thesis, we investigated modes of intraseasonal variability (ISV) observed in the Indian monsoon rainfall and how these modes modulate rainfall over India. We identified a decreasing trend in the intensity of ...
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 ...
Role of Aerosols in Modulating the Intraseasonal Oscillations of Indian Summer Monsoon
(2017-12-05)
In this thesis, we have presented a systematic analysis of the change of cloud properties due to variation in aerosol concentration over Indian region using satellite observations, and Weather Research and Forecasting Model ...
Sensitivity of Sea Surface Temperature Intraseasonal Oscillation to Diurnal Atmospheric Forcings in an OGCM
(2018-04-05)
Abstract
The diurnal cycle is a dominant mode of sea surface temperature (SST) variability in trop-ical oceans, that influences air-sea interaction and climate processes. Diurnal variability of SST generally ranges from ...
Air-Sea Flux Measurements Over The Bay Of Bengal During A Summer Monsoon
(2009-03-19)
Majority of the rain producing monsoon systems in India form or intensify over the Bay of Bengal and move onto the land. We expect the air-sea interaction to be a crucial factor in the frequent genesis and intensification ...
