The Arabian Sea accounts for a small fraction of Tropical Cyclones—about 2% of the annual global mean. However, the damage they might inflict there and along its coastlines, which are thickly populated, is considerable. This study explores the influence of the changes in the vertical profiles of atmosphere and oceanic environment throughout the sea...
The stratosphere–troposphere (ST) Radar at Cochin is the World’s first atmospheric wind profiler radar operating at 205 MHz range is an active phased array radar to study the near equatorial atmospheric processes. This wind profiler radar
commissioned at Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research (ACARR), Cochin University of Science and

Kerala conside
red the land of monsoons, located on the southwest coast of India, received contrasting rainfall during the northeast monsoon (NEM) seasons of 2019 (excess) and 2020 (deficit). The reasons for the contrasting NEM rainfall during these two consecutive years were studied by analysing the atmospheric circulation pattern and its interact...
Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), one of the dominant intra-seasonal oscillations over the tropics, plays a major role in preconditioning the atmosphere and ocean prior to the monsoon onset over Kerala (MOK). However, the onset process exhibits large variability even when MJO exists in the same phase. This study attempts to understand the characteri...
Stratosphere–troposphere (ST) wind profiler radar (WPR) installed at Cochin, India, is a clear air VHF Doppler radar system designed for continuous wind velocity measurements under all-weather conditions. Clear air WPRs detect backscattered signals due to Bragg scattering from small irregularities in the refractive index caused by turbulence. The 2...
During recent decades, the Arabian Sea witnessed frequent occurrences of cyclones during the onset phase of the Indian Summer Monsoon. This study examined the impact of these cyclones on the establishment and northward propagation of the monsoon system. The main dynamical components of the monsoon semi-permanent systems, including wind at 850 hPa a...
