| Program | AUA-IIT Bombay Overseas Study Program 2023-24Tropical Dynamics & Global Monsoon |
| Host | Indian Institute of Technology Bombay |
| Date and Time | 17-21 June 2024 |
| Description | This is a short and intensive course titled “Tropical dynamics and Global monsoon”. It is designed to give an overview of dynamics in the tropical region and of the different monsoon systems. It will start by introducing the theories of monsoon and its large-scale structure during summer and winter and its variability, then discuss monsoon as a coupled system. The program will explore how the characteristics of monsoon systems and circulation features such as the Hadley cell, the Walker circulation have changed as the planet warmed. It will end by teaching the processes associated with cloud microphysics and precipitation. In addition, IIT Bombay have set up hands-on sessions where the students will learn to use python to handle climate data and get exposed to simple climate models, Large Eddy Simulations (LES) & Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) as well as Global Climate Models (GCMs). The students will be given individual assignments and might have to collaborate to solve group assignments. The group assignments will be a small project which the students have to present before the class. The hands-on session will train the students to perform analysis of their own research using python. |
| Eligible Candidates | UG, PG (including Ph.D. students) with basic knowledge and interest in Climate Science, and a bit of computer programming skill (knowing it will be good but not essential) is encouraged to apply. The program will teach all the basic skill sets that are required to enjoy the course. |
| Anticipated Number of Participants | 30 |
| Nomination Process | For AUA Members: Each University may nominate two (2) candidates + 2 student on waiting list before the nomination deadline by submitting the attached registration form to the contact person of the program. |
