Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation-Climate Interaction
My current Ph.D. research primarily focuses on understanding the role of atmospheric aerosols in modulating the regional precipitation, cloud properties, and freezing isotherm over the central Himalayas, using satellite-based observational datasets and numerical modeling. The findings of our long-term (2002- 2017) satellite-based observational study (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-021-05710-2)suggest atmospheric aerosols significantly modulate the regional precipitation and freezing level height which can pose substantial consequences on the Himalayan hydroclimate. I also implemented the cloud-resolving scale Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) in a High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment to study the impact of transported dust aerosols on early monsoon precipitation over the Nepal Himalayas (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590162122000338).
