Vision
To be a leading center of teaching, learning, and research in atmospheric science

Mission
Provide conceptual understanding of the Earth climate system.
Nurture future space scientists, engineers, academicians, and entrepreneurs in the country.

The Atmospheric Science group has three faculty members. The faculty of the group works on the numerical modelling of the atmosphere and measurement and analysis of atmospheric data. The group primarily works on ingesting and assimilating non-conventional data (including satellite data) to improve the mesoscale model performance using sophisticated data assimilation methods. The group members also have experience handling atmospheric boundary layer tower-based instruments and data to realize science objectives. One of the faculty members works on the measurements of aerosols and their role in cloud microphysics and radiation budget in a changing climate. The thrust areas are monsoon climate studies, climate modelling, mesoscale modelling, data assimilation, aerosols and climate change, radiation and climate change, atmospheric boundary layer, unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) as a research platform, and development of miniaturized instrumentation for space research. The group has also introduced Machine-Learning (ML) as an important technique in the research areas described above.
