Trends and Variability in Terrestrial Carbon Fluxes and Stocks over India in the 20th and 21st centuries: A Multi-model Based Assessment
Terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon cycle by naturally taking up carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis and storing this carbon as biomass and soil carbon. There exists a strong, ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Ab initio Quantum Chemical Studies on Kinetic Fractionation during the analysis of Carbonates for the Clumped Isotope Thermometry
Stable and clumped isotopic compositions of molecules and minerals carry the signatures of temperatures and other physical and chemical conditions of the time of their formation. Isotopic compositions of such precipitate ...
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 ...
On the spatial extent of extreme rainfall events over India during the summer monsoon
The spatial extent of extreme rainfall events directly affects the damages caused and
impacts of such events. However, it has been less explored in the literature. This thesis
examines extreme rainfall events of different ...
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 ...
A Tropical Survey of Mid-Tropospheric Cyclones, their Classification and Genesis over the Arabian Sea
Middle Tropospheric Cyclones (MTCs) are moist synoptic tropical systems with vorticity maxima in the middle troposphere and weak signature in the lower troposphere. We begin with a tropical survey of MTCs; in South Asia, ...
