SACHIN KAKKANATTU PHILIP
I am a Research Scholar of Atmospheric Physics at Atmospheric Observation and Modelling Laboratory (AOML), SRM Institute of Science and Technology under the supervision of Dr. Sanjay Kumar Mehta, Research Associate Professor, Department of Physics, SRMIST, Kattankulathur, Chennai, India.
I completed my master's in Physics at SRM Institute of Science and Technology in 2019 and my Bachelor's degree in Physics and Computer application (PCA) at Emmanuel College of Arts and Science affiliated with Kerala University in 2016.
My current research focuses on understanding the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and its coupling to the free atmosphere, an exchange process perspective.
Why Atmospheric Physics?
The importance of atmospheric observations and its further understanding of the different atmospheric processes will advance the prediction capability that helps society to earn more confidence about atmospheric information and forecasts. As a researcher, my studies focus on the exchange activities between the Atmospheric boundary layer to free troposphere in order to understand the long range transport.
Research Interest
Atmospheric boundary layer and its thermodynamic processes
Development of a robust algorithm for the detection of boundary layer
Monsoon inversion layer and its variability
The effect of boundary layer cloud over global energy budget
Tropical cyclone and its effect on ABL
