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 ...
Temporal Persistence and Spatial Coherence of Tropical Rainfall
(2018-01-01)
The work presented in the thesis focuses on systematically documenting the multi scale nature of the temporal persistence and spatial coherence of tropical rainfall. There are three parts to the thesis: The first two parts ...
Computerized Landmarking And Anthropometry Over Laser Scanned 3D Head And Face Surface Meshes
(2008-01-11)
Understanding of the shape and size of different features of human body from the scanned data is necessary for automated design and evaluation of product ergonomics. The traditional method of finding required body dimensions ...
Surface Energy Budget Over A Land Surface In The Tropics
(2009-05-21)
Atmospheric convection is sensitive to the nature of the surface and its temperature. Both dry (without cloud) and moist (with cloud) convections depend on the surface temperature. Surface temperature is of critical ...
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 ...
Formation and Maintenance of the Southern Bay of Bengal Cold Pool
(2018-06-11)
Around Sri Lanka and to the south of India sea surface temperatures (SST) are cooler compared to the surrounding region during summer monsoon. This region where SSTs are relatively cooler is known as the cold pool. Owing ...
Effects of Arctic Geoengineering on Precipitation in the Tropical Monsoon Regions
(2018-06-14)
Arctic geoengineering wherein sunlight absorption is reduced only in the Arctic has been suggested as a remedial measure to counteract the on-going rapid climate change in the Arctic. Several modelling studies have shown ...
Mesoscale Turbulence on the Ocean Surface from Satellite Altimetry
(2018-06-26)
The dynamics captured in the ocean surface current data provided by satellite altimetry has been a subject of debate since the past decade. In particular, the contribution of surface and interior dynamics to altimetry ...
