Projects (Ongoing):

Objective is to understand the physics and dynamics of atmospheric processes in large and mesoscale levels and its orographic influence using the surface-based remote sensing observations, satellite and the regional scale simulations. Key areas of investigation include cloud and precipitation systems, interaction of environments from the scale of individual clouds embedded in the monsoon systems and thunderstorms through mesoscale convective systems and cyclonic storms, and up to the scale of the impact of these systems on regional and global climate and also in the natural hazard point of view. The processes of the interaction of the atmosphere with the land and ocean surface beneath it are also of high priority.
High altitude cloud physics observatory (HACPO, 10°09' 12.26"N, 77°02' 00.92"E; Rajamallay, Munnar 1820 m above msl) is established in 2017, for the studying the cloud and precipitation microphysics over Western Ghats. Mid- and coastal (Braemore and NCESS campus) atmospheric observatories are augmented with co-located measurements for examining the rainfall vertical structure during the monsoon season. Contributed to the establishment of lightning detection and warning systems across southwest cost of India in 2018 in collaboration with IITM, Pune.
