OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this subject is to give information of the climate, weather
forecasting using RADAR and Geo stationary satellites. It deals with weather
conditions, sensors, satellites and the data interpretation for various applications.
UNIT I GENERAL CONCEPTS IN METEOROLOGY 9
Weather and climate – composition of atmosphere – temperature and pressure
distribution – Winds over the earth’s atmosphere – scales of atmospheric processes - Land /
Ocean coupling – Indian monsoons – other major weather systems of seasons –
brief introduction to Indian Climatology - Radiative transfer – radiation spectrum –
Absorption and emission of radiation by molecules – Radiative laws – scattering
principles - Cloud physics – Mechanism of cloud formation – Types of clouds –
precipitation processes – warm and cold cloud concepts and processes.
UNIT II RADIO METEOROLOGY 9
Principles and classifications of Radar – components of Radar – Meteorological
applications. Upper air temperature exploration of the atmosphere (Radio Sonde) – Upper
air wind estimation through Pilot Baloon – Wind estimation through Radar (Rawin
Sonde), Doppler technique - Precipitation estimation through Radar and problems
associated with it – Precipitation Radar (PR) on-board satellites such as Tropical Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM), Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Ozone soundings
– general principle and special satellite measurements of ozone – Aerosol soundings -
Tracking of weather systems such as Thunderstorms, Tropical cyclones, Tornadoes
through Radar – Structure of weather systems as observed by Radars – Hydro
meteorological applications of Radar - Application to aviation meteorology.
UNIT III INTRODUCTION TO SATELLITE METEOROLOGY 9
Orbital dynamics of Satellites – Critical velocities – Polar and Geo stationary weather
satellites - Active and passive sensors (Radars/Lidars/Radiometers) – Absorption bands
of atmospheric gases -Design and characteristics of different types of sounders and
imagers used in Meteorological satellites – Viewing geometry - INSAT Meteorological Data
Processing System (IMDPS), IRS series – High Resolution Picture Transmission – APT
– AVHRR - Need for Remote Sensing techniques in weather forecasting and Numerical
Weather Prediction (NWP)
UNIT IV SATELLITE METEOROLOGY APPLICATIONS – I 9
Precipitation – Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) and Sea Surface Temperture (SST)
estimation and their applications – Normalised Digitised Vegetation Index – Ocean
colour monitoring – coastal pollution Image interpretation - Satellite communication
systems in operational meteorological application (Cyclone Warning Dissemination system
/ Automatic Weather stations – Meteorological data dissemination) - Estimation of
snow and ice cover – Waterbody boundary mapping – Atmospheric aerosols – Dust storms –
Velcanic ash clouds and fires
UNIT V SATELLITE METEOROLOGY APPLICATIONS – II 9
Identification – Tracking of weather systems – Derivation of cloud motion vector
Dvorak’s technique of cyclone intensity estimation – T number and current intensity No. –
Application to storm surge estimation Satellite soundings – Tiros Operational and Vertical
Sounder – Retrieval methods and algorithms.
