US-India Cooperative Research: International Wavelet Analysis of Frequency Spectra for Monsoon Rainfall

该奖项支持题为“美国-印度合作研究：季风降雨频谱的国际小波分析”的亚洲季风研究。克里希那穆提，佛罗里达州立大学（FSU）和印度气象学家C. K。科钦科技大学的Rajan将使用一种新的观测分析方法（小波分析）和建模来研究亚洲季风降雨的季节内变化。 了解亚洲夏季风活跃期和中断期形成的季风生命周期的调节机制是一个重大的研究挑战，具有广泛的影响。 改善南亚地区季风降水的预测对于生活在这些地区的数十亿人的水资源，农业，健康和经济福祉问题至关重要。这项研究将把PI以前在印度一个地区完成的工作扩展到受亚洲季风影响的整个地区。 该奖项支持来自FSU的博士后和研究生对合作机构的交流访问。 该合作的共同资金由印度科学技术部根据NSF/DST联合计划提供。

This award supports research on the Asian monsoon entitled US-India Cooperative Research: International Wavelet Analysis of Frequency Spectra for Monsoon Rainfall.US PI T.N. Krishnamurti, Florida State University (FSU) and Indian meteorologist C.K. Rajan, Cochin University of Science and Technology will study the intraseasonal variability of the Asian monsoon rainfall using a novel observational analysis approach (wavelet analysis) and modeling. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate monsoon life cycles formed by active and break periods in the Asian summer monsoon is a major research challenge and one with broad impacts. Improved predictions of monsoon precipitation for the South Asian regions are critical to issues of water resources, agriculture, health, and economic well being for the billions living in these regions. This research will extend previous work completed by the PI for one region of India to the entire area affected by the Asian Monsoon. The award supports exchange visits to the collaborating institution by a postdoc and graduate student from FSU. Cofunding for the collaboration is provided by the Indian Department of Science & Technology under the NSF/DST joint program.
