Climate Change & Applications

High resolution simulations using a variable resolution global atmospheric model with telescopic zooming (grid-size ~35 km) over South Asia were generated at CCCR, IITM, for the 20th century (1886-2005) and future projections until 2095 following the IPCC scenario RCP4.5


These high-resolution simulations, which were performed on the PRITHVI High Performance Computing (HPC) facility at IITM, offer new opportunities to better understand several key regional scientific issues concerning climate change over South Asia - e.g., Monsoons, precipitation extremes, heat waves, droughts and floods, changes in cyclonic weather systems, hydrological cycle etc.
