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 changes in temporal resolution and convective parameterization on the simulation of tropical climate in NCAR CAM3 GCM
In this thesis, the simulation of tropical climate by the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM) developed at National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has been discussed. Although the model successfully simulates many ... -
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 Groundwater Level Fluctuations on In-Situ Soil Properties using Automated Wave Detection Methods
Understanding the impact of groundwater level fluctuations on soil properties is crucial in geotechnical engineering, as it influences soil strength, stiffness, and stability. Dynamic soil properties such as Poisson's ... -
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 ... -
Impact of water mass forcing on the general circulation model simulations
The mass continuity equation traditionally used in atmospheric models does not take into account the local sources and sinks. The mass of the atmosphere varies due to the moisture variation arising from evaporation and ... -
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 ... -
Improved laboratory and computational models for thermal core–mantle interaction
The Earth's magnetic field is generated by thermochemical convection within its fluid outer core. The near-stationary high-latitude magnetic flux concentrations in the present day field indicate that convective ... -
Improved Methods for Filtration, Drainage and Structural Evaluations With and Without Geocomposites for Subsurface Drainage of Pavements
Pavements are continuously exposed to the environment leading to ingress of water from multiple sources that structurally weakens the pavement materials. The conventional solution for drainage requires granular material ... -
