CoE in Climate Modelling

Link:

Figure

Researchers at IIT Delhi are working towards developing a climate model that caters to the specific needsand challenges of climate change in India.

The Center

DST Centre of Excellence in Climate Modeling is a major new initiative taken by IIT Delhi and funded by theDepartment of Science and Technology, GoI to develop an India centric climate model to address certainpressing issues of climate change in India, and to educate manpower in numerical modeling of the Earthsystem and climate.

The need

The country needs reliable climate projection for future planning and policy making to make in-formeddecisions against the backdrop of global warming and climate change. This is deliverable only when we havea reliable model - a model which is successful in capturing the present-day cli-mate of India. If we do nothave a model that captures the present-day climate, how can we expect to predict and project for the future?Reliable future projections of climate demand a satisfactory numerical global model. However, all theavailable models possess unacceptably large biases, espe-cially with precipitation over India (see the figure),even though they are doing reasonably good jobs over other regions and at global scale. Although theclimate modeling community in the coun-try has made good progress in the last two decades, the need of thehour is to accelerate this process and work towards building a model for India that can be used for regionalclimate projections.

Broader objectives

The researchers propose to perform the required upgrades to an existing climate model and build a bettermodel for the Indian region through improved physical and computational implementations. They aim todevelop an India-Centric Climate Model (ICCM) through process improvements and region-specificcustomisation that can simulate the regional climate of India and can be used for fu-ture climate projectionsat district level to assess the impacts of climate change on agriculture, health, water resources, and theenergy sectors. The ICCM output will be downscaled at ultra-high resolutions for various applications.Additional climate projections for the future scenarios will be made through soft computing, machine learning,and mathematical optimisation techniques from the ICCM.

Prospect and Opportunities

The subject matter is highly interdisciplinary and involves integration of atmospheric physics and dynamics,numerical methods, thermodynamics, heat transfer, high performance computing, and soft computing.Faculty members having expertise in these area may find it exciting and are wel-come to participate asassociate faculty members in the CoE.
