Atmospheric Modelling Studies over India through HRM and ARPS Models

Troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. The prime objective of this dissertation is the characterization of various atmospheric processes ranging from a few kilometers to a few hundreds of kilometers taking place within this layer over the southern part of Indian sub-continent with the aid of numerical atmospheric models and observational data. With a view to broadening our understanding on some of the interesting atmospheric events such as Sea/Land Breeze Circulation (SLBC), Mountain Waves, and Thunderstorms, hitherto not attempted very much in an analytical and quantitative sense by many researchers the world over. --- S.
