Characteristics of Convective Clouds Over the Indian Monsoon Zone from Weather Radar Data
Deep convective clouds play an important role in global energy balance through vertical transport of water vapor, momentum and energy, altering radiation and also influence hydrological cycle via precipitation. These clouds ... -
Effect of Rainfall and River Discharge on the North Indian Ocean
In the north Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal (BoB or bay) and the Eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) receive a huge amount of rainfall during summer. Several rivers along their boundaries discharge enormous amounts of freshwater ... -
Efficacy of Solar irradiance, Methane and Black carbon aerosols
In climate science literature, the concept of radiative forcing is used to infer the equilibrium temperature change that would occur as a result of changes in the forcing agents such as greenhouse gases and aerosols. ... -
Estimation of Glacier Mass Balance at Basin Scale in the Himalaya for Recent Decades and Future
The Himalayan glaciers are a major source of perennial river systems which support the livelihood of millions of people in south Asia. Therefore, it is important to understand changes in water resources due to changes in ... -
Influence of Western Ghats Orography on Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Rainfall over South Asia
The Western Ghats (WG) orography that runs along the western coast of peninsular India, is a long and narrow mountain chain with an average height of about 1200 meters. The orientation of this orography is approximately ... -
Multi-Scale Modeling of Moist Convection Over India
Clouds exist on all scales from turbulent processes to global scale and are organized on all the scales in between. They truly are multi-scale in nature. This makes them a very challenging simulation problem for atmospheric ... -
Short to Medium Range Forecasting Skills of the GFS Model
The reliable prediction of the South Asian monsoon rainfall and its variability is crucial for various hydrological applications and early warning systems. This study analyzes Global Fore- cast System (GFS) model generated ... -
Simulations of Aerosol Species over the Indian Region: Evaluation and Improvements
Increasing aerosol loading over the south Asian region, holds a potential of, perturbing the south Asian monsoon system and the Himalayan glacial coverage, and thus affecting lives of (1/4)th of the world’s population. ...
