Multi-Scale Precipitation Variability Over the Tropics: New Insights from Observations and Modelling explores the latest developments in the observation and modelling of tropical precipitation. Researchers will benefit from this detailed analysis of recent advancements in the field. The text first examines recent satellite and RADAR observations and how those breakthroughs enhance our understanding. This is followed by a review of NASA A-train observations as well as extreme events. The editors also look at predicting precipitation variability with a state-of-the-art ensemble forecast system. The text wraps with a discussion of multiscale cloud and precipitation variability with the backdrop of a changing climate. This text will provide researchers with new insights and a deeper understanding of the latest advances in the observation and modelling of tropical precipitation.

Über Autor(innen)

Mukhopadhyay, Parthasarathi
Dr. Mukhopadhyay did his PhD in Physics from Savitribai Phule Pune University in the year 2005 and has been working in the field of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) since last twenty-eight years. He has particularly worked in developing high resolution numerical model and improved cumulus and cloud parameterization. He developed for the first time the superparameterized climate forecast model for improved Indian summer monsoon simulation. He has led the program to develop the highest resolution (12km) global ensemble prediction system for short to medium range weather forecast over India. He has published 81 peer reviewed papers in journals and edited one book published by Springer and published six chapters in edited books. He has guided 7 students for PhD and currently guiding 5 students for PhD. He has guided 14 students for the master's thesis.
