Global warming intensifies Tropical Cyclones (TC)! My article in today's HINDU why we need a new category-6 (wind > 309 km/hr) to warn people We already had five category-6 TCs & models suggest more in future climate Need to revisit early warning systems & Disaster Management.

Evapotranspiration of Africa! Evapotranspiration includes water evaporation into the atmosphere from the soil surface, evaporation from the capillary fringe of the groundwater table, and evaporation from water bodies on land. Evapotranspiration also includes transpiration,

Monsoon update: The 2024 monsoon is set for a normal onset over Kerala & south peninsula including Maharashtra & northeast India. Model predict good rainfall activity in June With emerging La Nina, expect a bountiful monsoon. Will post regularly. Atria University MoES GoI

I would like to thank 🙏 all my advisors and mentors who made my PhD journey smooth and the best experience. I am the luckiest person to work under the supervision and mentorship of @robertnspengler, Giedre Motuzaite Matuzeviciute, Dr. Yiming Wang, and Madelynn von Baeyer

In addition to amazing support from my advisors, I was lucky to get a chance to meet my colleagues and extremely supportive people in Germany, who were with me in the hard times, especially Li Tang, who is not only the best colleague but also the best friend.

Monsoon update: Onset over Kerala may take place as predicted but as a weak monsoon flow. India Meteorological Department & ECMWF predict below normal rains in June over northern parts of country, suggesting late onset over this region. Delayed monsoon onset may lead to heat waves in June.
