Weather and Climate Modelling Research Group

Atmospheric processes and climate change take place on a wide range of spatial scales from global to regional and local scales. Our group aims at analyzing, simulating and predicting the regional weather and climate aspects, including extremes, over India using high-resolution regional climate models. The high-resolution information will be beneficial for climate assessments, to study the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems, and to develop national adaptation and mitigation strategies. The group is also focusing on understanding the regional/local weather and climate phenomena, and their variability and changes, through dynamical downscaling and analysis of observations. We are also working on developing cloud-resolving modelling systems of mesoscale convective systems and their predictions at sub-seasonal scales, and the future projections of extremes at regional and local scales. The group research activities at IISERM also involve the application of advanced data assimilation techniques to improve the simulations and forecast of regional weather extremes, which we are working on in close collaboration with Climate Change Center at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
