2. Impact of Atmospheric Parameters over Snow Cover of Himalayan Region

2.1. Aim

  • How snow cover is changing (melting) with different atmospheric parameters e.g. aerosols at different altitude levels of our area of interest - Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region

  • Detection of dust and smoke aerosol presence at different altitude levels.

  • How much snow cover has been reduced or melted over past 10 years (2006-2017) and if there any relation due to presence of aerosols (if any).

2.2. Data

Vector Data : Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region

Raster Data :

2.3. Course of Action

  • Compute and visualize snow cover distribution over Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Region at differen t altitude levels. (1000-8000 meters)

  • Visualize aerosol distribution over the same region.

  • Compare distribution snow cover at different altitude levels with the aerosol present in the atmosphere and how they are changing.

3. Estimation of Ground Water Storage (GWS) Over India's Major River Basins using Gravitational Anomaly Data

3.1. Aim

  • Gravitational Anomaly (GA) Trend analysis and observation over India and it's 14 river basins for the timeframe of 2002 to 2017 (16 Years).

  • Qualitative analysis of TWS, CWS, SMSC, Rainfall of 14 major river basins of India using gravitational anomaly data.

  • Finally Ground water storage (GWS) estimation over 14 major river basins using TWS, CWS, SMSC and Rainfall.

3.2. Data

  • Qualitative analysis of TWS, CWS, SMSC, Rainfall of 14 major river basins of India using gravitational anomaly data.

  • Finally Ground water storage (GWS) estimation over 14 major river basins using TWS, CWS, SMSC and Rainfall.

3.4. Visualization

Following figure depicts the different regions of India along with a graph showing Annual Mean of Gravitational Anomaly of Northern, Eastern, North-East region, Southern, Western and central region over the time period of 2002 -2017.

Following figure depicts all 14 major river basins of India as areas of interest. It also displays different water storage distribution over Ganga_basin as an example. Similar analysis have been carried out for rest of the river basins over the time period of 2002 -2017.

4. Change in Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Distribution

4.1. Aim

4.2. Data

  • Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) is the global data bank for long term sea level change information from tide gauges and bottom pressure recorders.

  • AVISO Mean Sea Level Data (MSL)

4.3. Course of Action

4.4. Visualization

Global mean sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting land-based ice sheets and glaciers and the expansion of seawater as it warms. Following shows the MSL of Bay of Bengal measured from four control points over past 100 years (approx).

Slope of SST changes over Bay of Bengal and Mediterranean Sea.

4.5. Publication

Ghosh, Arka, Anirban Mukhopadhyay, Niloy Pramanick, Soubhik Biswas, Debashis Mitra, and Tuhin Ghosh. "Interannual and intraannual comparative study of sea surface temperature distribution over the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea within the time frame of 2003โ€“18." In Disaster Resilience and Sustainability, Elsevier, 2021.

5. Drought Risk Assessment due to impacts of Climate Change

5.1. Aim

  • Built a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) to provide a real-time dynamic computation of relative drought vulnerability index (RDVI) for selected areas of interest in India affected by by Climate Change.

5.2. Data

5.3. Course of Action

  • Drought analysis is to be carried out with drought indices like the

    • Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI)
    • Temperature Condition Index (TCI)
    • Vegetation Condition Index (VCI)
