STORM Lab – IIT Bhubaneswar

Understanding and predicting extreme weather and monsoon variability using physics-based modelling, satellite observations, and AI. 

Advancing science for better prediction of rainfall, climate risk, and atmospheric processes. 

🌍 What We Do

The STORM Lab at Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar investigates the science of the atmosphere using a combination of:

• 🌡️ Physical understanding of thermodynamic processes

• 🛰 Satellite-based observations of weather systems

• 🤖 AI and data-driven modelling

We aim to improve the prediction and understanding of extreme rainfall, monsoon variability, and climate processes, with a focus on challenges relevant to India and beyond.

⚡ Why It Matters

Extreme weather is increasing in intensity and frequency.

Our work contributes to:

• Better rainfall and flood prediction

• Improved climate understanding over the Indian region

• Development of next-generation weather models using AI

⭐ Highlights

• 🌧 Research on extreme rainfall and precipitation physics

• 🛰 Use of satellite data and ground radar observations for atmospheric analysis

• 🤖 Integration of AI with physical modelling approaches

• 🌏 Focus on monsoon and regional climate systems
