The Dynamics Of Erosion Of Gradient-Zone In Solar Ponds
(2012-05-25) -
The Effect Of Viscosity On The Erosion Of Gradient- Zone In A Laboratory Solar Pond
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-08-24)Double diffusive phenomena occur in many natural systems and in a variety of engineering applications, such as solar ponds. In a solar pond, the erosion of gradient zone due to convection and diffusion is the main cause ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A Method to Derive an Aerosol Composition from Downward Solar Spectral Fluxes at the Surface
(2018-01-01)Aerosol properties are highly variable in space and time which makes the aerosol study more complex. The sources and production mechanism of aerosols decide the properties of the aerosols. Aerosol radiative forcing is ... -
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 ... -
Retrieval Of Dust Aerosols Using METEOSAT Infrared Radiance

Simple Models For The Mean And Transient Intertropical Convergence Zone And Its Northward Migration
(2011-11-16)Satellite data have shown that east-west oriented cloud bands, known as Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), propagate eastwards along the equator throughout the year and northwards during boreal summer on intraseasonal ... -
Stability Of Double-Diffusive Finger Convection In A Non-Linear Time Varying Background State
(2010-09-06)Convection set up in a fluid due to the presence of two components of differing diffusivities is known as double diffusive convection. Double diffusive convection is observed in nature, in oceans, in the formation of certain ... -
Structure and Dynamics of the Inter-tropical Convergence zones
(2018-08-13)The east-west oriented cloud bands in the tropics are called the Inter-tropical Con-vergence Zones (ITCZ). Till recently, the ITCZ has been assumed to have a simple vertical structure with convergence near the surface ... -
Structure of the Tropical Easterly Jet in NCAR CAM-3.1 GCM
(2018-04-24)This thesis examines the structure of the Tropical Easterly Jet (TEJ) in a General Circulation Model (GCM). The TEJ is observed only during the Indian summer monsoon period and is strongest during July and August. The jet ...
