study of satellite derived cloud anatomy and physical processes during cloudburst events over India.

Climate Change projections indicate increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme rainfall events (ERE) . A large amount of the variability of rainfall is related to the occurrence of extreme rainfall events and their intensities.The study of spatial variability of extreme rainfall events helps to identify the zone of high and low value of extreme rainfall events over India. Therefore It is necessary to study the Extreme rainfall events due to cloudburst using Non Hydrostatic Model (NHM), that comprehensively describe the atmospheric dynamics in large scale environment.This study emphasizes on the analysis of the frequency of rainy days, extreme rainfall events(EREs) and understanding the dynamical as well as physical mechanism of the atmosphere in terms of the associated variables like wind, wind divergence, shear, atmospheric thermodynamics, temperature, humidity etc.The extreme rainfall events because of cloud bursts over the continental India shows an increasing trend in the recent decades compared to past. As the disaster vulnerability is very high due to the direct impact of cloud burst events which results torrential rains, urban flooding, landslides, post rain disease spreads etc. so it is necessary to understand the dynamical structure of the cloud, which in turn can be well represented in the numerical weather prediction models for accurate prediction of such events. In the present study the satellite derived cloud structures during the cloud burst events over India for the period 2009-2015 are being analyzed and the relation of the cloud anatomy and surface rainfall obtained using the TRMM rainfall data.
