Indian Ocean Dipole

The Indian Ocean Dipole is a climate phenomenon that affects global climate. It is an irregular oscillation with positive and negative phases. In the positive phase, sea surface temperatures of the eastern Indian Ocean experience unusual cooling. This is soon followed by a warming of sea surface temperatures in the western Indian Ocean. These changes lead to a large shift in rainfall from the eastern towards the western Indian Ocean, and is consequently associated with drought in the eastern and floods in the western Indian Ocean.  

We study the mechanisms by which the Indian Ocean Dipole is generated using computer models. Areas of research include Indian Ocean Dipole dynamics, its impacts on global climate and how it interacts with the El Nino Southern Oscillation.

Super El Nino

What processes are responsible for Super El Ninos are explored using computational modeling approaches.

Tracking Clouds and Rain with low cost GPS chips

GPS or Global Positioning System is a popular technology used for positioning and navigation. However GPS signals can also be used for scientific applications. One application is to track clouds and rain. This is possible because GPS signals are delayed by the effect of water vapor in the atmosphere.  In our lab we are exploring the use of low cost GPS chips for tracking clouds and rain.  The research project will involve collaboration with Fukushima Renewable Energy Center of AIST (http://www.aist.go.jp/fukushima/).  We have installed several GPS receivers at FREA including high end and low end versions. The research will involve intercomparison of data from the receivers. It also will develop machine learning algorithms to map water vapour to clouds.
