Hello! I'm Anandh

I did my Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India from 2013-2019. My research areas primarily focused on using numerical modeling tools to investigate extreme events, and how climatic conditions alter the extreme events. My research interests are Numerical modeling, Data analysis, Wind and Solar power forecasting, Climate Science.

I spend my leisure time with my family, reading books, and simple coding

RESEARCH

PUBLICATION

The direct impact of climate change is the warming of the Earth systems. As the world warms, more heat energy is added to the oceans. This additional heat energy is being stored in the upper ocean denoted by the deepening of 26°/20° isotherms. This variability is also noticed in the Bay of Bengal of the Indian Ocean. With the additional heat, the ocean can supply more energy needed to the intensifications of cyclones moving over them. As a result, cyclones over the bay are getting intensified more often than before, causing huge destructions to life and properties.

In my PhD, I worked on quantifying the amount of heat energy introduced into the bay and the trend in which it varies. The regions where the energy is stored are identified as the region where the cyclones originate and get intensified. With increased energy on the ocean surfaces, eddies forming over the ocean can provide an additional kick to the intensification of cyclones. My research is focused on studying this increase in cyclone intensifications and how should we identify the rapid variations of cyclones and prepare ourselves.
