Climate change is having an uneven and adverse impacts on agriculture, water resources, energy, health, environment, and various socio-economic sectors. Studying the climate change dynamics across a broad spectrum of its negative effects to cope with climate-induced hazards has become quite significant for any country in the word. Our group primarily focuses on atmospheric issues and concerns pertinent to climate change and associated impacts on both weather and climate. The major research areas our group encompasses include monsoon dynamics, large-scale atmospheric dynamics and linked climatic impacts, global teleconnections, climate change & variability, climate extremes, climate modelling, agro-climate/agro-meteorology, downscaling of climate models, numerical weather prediction, predictability of extreme weather events, early warning systems, and remote sensing applications in hydrology/water resources.
