The present study quantitatively assessed the thirteen (13) state-of-the-art statistically downscaled, bias-corrected, and high-resolution climate model datasets derived from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) in representing the extreme precipitation indices (rainfall, SDII, RX1DAY, RX5DAY, rainy days, and CDD) during the su...
Southwestern Indian state, Kerala experienced extreme devastating statewide flood event of the century during 2018 monsoon season. In this study, an attempt has been made to bring out the salient dynamical factors contributed to the Kerala flood. There were 3 active spells over Kerala during 2018 Monsoon season. All the three spells were accustomed...
Kerala, located at the southwest tip of India, witnessed disastrous floods during the monsoon seasons of two consecutive years, 2018 and 2019. This paper provides a detailed analysis of these two flood events using data from multiple sources. The unusually unstable and convective nature of the 2019 event, as detectable in its higher cloud tops and...
The present study examines atmosphere–ocean interaction before MOK using various observational data sets during the last 35 years (1982–2016). The analyses suggest a new mechanism for the evolution of MOK involving the coupling of radiation, sea surface temperature (SST), wind, evaporation, SST gradient, wind stress, total precipitable water (TPW),...
Distinct atmosphere-ocean coupled processes determine the inter-annual variability in the onset processes of Indian Summer Monsoon. In this work, we have analysed the distinct characteristics of onset process during 2017 (MOK17) and 2018 (MOK18) using SCATSAT-1 observations. Two years of dedicated SCATSAT-1 analysed winds and other flux datasets ar...
Impacts of the 2009–2010 El Niño and the 2010–2011 La Niña events on the lightning activity in the climatologically dry and moist regions of the Himalayan range are studied from the 18-year (1995–2012) data obtained from the combination of Optical Transient Detector and Lighting Imaging Sensors on the TRMM satellite. Average flash rates in both reg...
