Mesoscale Eddies in the north Indian Ocean

Satellite-measured daily sea level anomaly data are used from 1993 to 2021 to study the characteristics of mesoscale eddies in the north Indian Ocean. Know More..

SMOG in Delhi Region

Delhi region grapples with a critical air quality drop in November primarily due to pollutants. Space-based measurements from satellites offer crucial insights into these issues. Know More..

Three-dimensional view of CO2 variability in the atmosphere

The study reports diurnal and seasonal variations of atmospheric CO2 across multiple locations in India using the dedicated ground-based, satellite observations and model simulations. Know More..

Cloud to ground lightning occurrences

The Lightning Detection Sensor Network data is analyzed on cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning occurrences during September 2019–December 2021 over India. The data are grouped into six homogeneous zones to investigate the seasonal variation of the occurrences. Read More..

Unravelling the Interannual Changes in the Decade Observations of GHGs

Over a decade (2013-2022) near Hyderabad, India, continuous measurements of CO2 and CH4 were conducted under the ISRO-GBP at NRSC lab, calibrated against NOAA standards. Read More..

Wind power potential over India

In this study, we estimate wind power potential at 100 m level over the Indian domain using data from the ERA5 reanalysis for 1979–2018. Findings indicate that India’s mainland (off-shore) regions have a wind power potential of nearly 7.2 TW (18.4 TW). Read More..

Pan-Antarctic snowmelt

Understanding global climatic changes resulting from global warming and their impact on polar snowmelt and ocean biogeochemistry requires an assessment of the spatio-temporal variability of surface ice melt over the Antarctica region. Read More..

Global Surface Ocean DIC

This study addresses the challenge of estimating Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) in ocean surface waters. Know More..
