Academic Experience
· Post-Doctoral Research Scientist (August 2008 – Present): Department of Earth, Ocean & Atmospheric Sciences, Florida State University with Prof. T. N. Krishnamurti.
· Associate in Research (Dec 2007 – July 2008): Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India, with Dr. R. Krishnan.
· Assistant in Research (Dec 2003 – Dec 2007): Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India, with Dr. R. Krishnan.
· Researcher (June 2000 – Nov 2003): Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India, with Dr. V. Satyan.
· Graduate Teaching Assistant (Dec 1999- May 2000): Instructor for Master of Technology Students for Fortran-77, at department of Atmosphere and Space Sciences, Pune University, India.
Research Area
· Statistical Downscaling Techniques, Multi-models and Statistical methods
I have used linear regression method to downscale the coarse resolution climate models against fine resolution rainfall datasets from rain gauges. I also have used various other methods like least-square minimization, Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE), Principal Component Regression (PCR) and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to show the rainfall forecasts from multi-model methods. These forecasts are verified for their accuracy by RMSE, Correlations, Bias, Equitable Threat Scores (ETS), RPSS, ROC curves, Brier Skill Scores, Hidke Skill Scores and many more.
· Numerical Modeling of Recent Climate Issues
Monsoonal Heat and Rapid Arctic Ice Melt: I have worked with WRF Global model simulation which is executed 25km to simulate the three flood events over South Asian region. The moist static energy (gz + CpT + Lq) released from monsoonal rainfall over South Asian regions generates a monsoonal wave train which reach to Arctic sea ice region within 6-7 days.
Extreme Events: WRF, being quite handy, a nested 3-domain (1, 3, and 9 km) model is been used to simulate the Northern India flood of June 2013. A new parameter Buoyancy found to be an important factor in case of extreme events. Moisture Rivers from nearby water bodies are also equally significant.
· Climate Modeling and Climate Change
WCRP’s one of the most effective venture of Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) is used to analyze and project the rainfall and temperature variability over Greater Horn of Africa.
· Monsoon Dynamics and Variability
In the context of monsoon dynamics; monsoon onset, movement of monsoonal isochrones, active-break cycle and withdrawal of the South Asian summer monsoon is investigated. The variability of rainfall over South Asian region arise from a complex interaction between large scale, mesoscale and small scale processes. Atmospheric models, WRF model and Coupled Climate models are used to unravel these issues.
Work Experience with Models, Packages and Languages
· Climate Modeling
I have conducted a large number of numerical simulations using WRF, Global WRF, WRFDA, WRF-CHEM, FSU-Coupled models, and FSU Spectral model in my research work. WRF model is used to predict the progress of Indian summer monsoon (known as isochrones), extreme events of floods and heavy orographic rains. WRFCEHM is been used to demonstrate the disruption of the organization of convection in the formation of depression and transport of pollution among South Asian countries.
· Data Processing and Scientific Visualization Packages
I have analyzed large volumes of atmospheric, satellite observations and reanalysis data-products. I used advanced meteorological packages and visualization tools such as GrADS, Ferret, Matlab, QGIS, NCL, IDL, CPT, F-77, F-95, C, C++, HTML, JAVA and Python.
· Data Formats and Data Extraction
I used Reanalysis, Radar, and Orbital datasets with formats e.g. self-describing files (GRIB1 and 2, HDF4 and 5, NetCDF3 and 4) in the research work.
Highlights of Research Work
Model simulation of monsoonal heat and generation of wave train to the Arctic region. This new findings will add an extra dimension to the Arctic sea ice melt possibility.
Statistical downscaling and multi-model ensemble techniques are promising tools those help to improve the rainfall forecasts.
Elucidation of the dynamics of monsoon-mid-latitude interactions and their role in inducing droughts over the Indian sub-continent.
Aerosol concentration disrupt the organization of deep convection and around low pressure systems over monsoonal region. This one of the reason why the number of low pressure systems and monsoon depressions are decreasing.
The Buoyant Elements and Moisture Rivers from nearby water bodies play important role in Extreme events.
Identification of a pathway for the ENSO-monsoon teleconnection through the NW Pacific. Rainfall variability over Indian region and cyclonic activity over NW Pacific region are in reciprocal.
Modified Soil-moisture and stratiform rainfall ahead of the monsoonal isochorens populate the buoyant elements, resulting in a fast movement of monsoonal rainfall northward.
