Scientists at Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) will conduct a study on the impact of tropical waves on extreme precipitation events in India.
The aim is to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamics of tropical waves and its influence on extreme precipitation patterns across the country. The duration of the project is three years.
“Tropical waves are extensive disorders in the atmosphere that move along the equator and is known to affect the patterns of precipitation and weather in the tropics. These waves that include Kelvin’s waves, rossby waves and mixed rossby-gravity waves act as carriers and Moistar and Moistar. Scientist, on official waves atmospheric radar research and the main investigator of the project.
“While scientists already know that tropical waves play a major role in checking with precipitation on shorter time, their link to extreme rain events during the Indian monsoon is still not well understood,” he said. K. Satheesan from the Department of atmospheric sciences in CUSAT is a co-picipal investigator.
Mr. Kottayil said that this project aims to reveal how tropical waves affect the timing and intensity of extreme rain events over India. “This opens up opportunities to improve subsezonic prognosis, which provides communities and creators of decision -making more time to prepare for floods and other extreme weather. By moisturizing light on a relatively unexplored aspect of the monsoon system, this research promises to strengthen our ability to understand and predict extreme deductions. said. The Ministry of Sciences of the country approved 44 Lakh for this project.
