CAOS Seminar
Title: Local onset and demise of the Indian summer monsoon and its relation to intraseasonal oscillations
Speaker: Prof V. Misra, Dept. of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Florida State University
Date/Time: Wednesday, 20 March 2019, 4:00 PM
Venue: CAOS Seminar Hall
Abstract:
This talk will introduce a relatively new definition for defining the onset and demise of the
Indian summer monsoon (ISM) at a very granular scale that is in fact data adaptive. The
consistency of this local definition with the seasonal changes of the large-scale circulation will
also be discussed. The talk will then show its relationship with the intraseasonal oscillations of
the ISM both from observations and model simulations. Finally, a real time application of
monitoring the onset isochrones with GPM data will be demonstrated.
All Are Welcome.

DEAR ALL,
CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC AND OCEANIC SCIENCES
SEMINAR
TITLE: "Attributing observed changes in surface air temperature and rainfall over India"
SPEAKER: KRISHNA ACHUTARAO, CENTER FOR ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES, IIT DELHI
TIME AND DATE: 3:30 PM, MONDAY, 4 FEBRUARY 2019
VENUE: CAOS SEMINAR HALL
ABSTRACT
Observed trends in temperature and rainfall over India are analyzed from a detection and attribution (D&A) perspective. Increasing temperatures over India since the middle of the 20th Century over various homogeneous zones of India were analyzed in a recent study by Dileep kumar et al., (2018) who concluded that observed increases can be attributed to forcings from greenhouse gases that have been offset by other anthropogenic factors (including anthropogenic aerosols and land use land cover change). However, the linear regression based D&A method cannot disaggregate the role of anthropogenic aerosols alone since the response to different forcings is not always linearly additive.
