About<\/h2>\n
\n\n

I am Raju Attada, faculty in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali (IISER Mohali) since April 2019. I specialize in Atmospheric and Climate Science, with expertise in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP), high-resolution modeling, and monsoon dynamics. I completed my Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, focusing on improving prediction of Indian Summer Monsoon rainfall. During my postdoctoral research at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), I employed high-resolution regional modeling to investigate weather and climate processes over the Indian and Arabian Peninsula regions. At IISER Mohali, my research group advances the physical understanding and prediction of India’s weather and climate across multiple time scales. Our work integrates regional climate modeling, AI\/ML approaches, remote sensing and in-situ observations, convective-resolving simulations of extreme events, and advanced data assimilation within the WRF framework. We actively collaborate with national and international institutions and contribute to strengthening weather and climate research capacity in India.

Research<\/h2>\n
\n<\/p>\n

Atmospheric processes and climate change occur across a wide range of spatial scales, from global to regional and local scales. Our group aims to analyze, simulate, and predict regional weather and climate aspects over India, including extreme events, using high-resolution regional climate models. Such high-resolution information is essential for climate assessments, studying the impacts of climate change on human and natural systems, and developing national adaptation and mitigation strategies. Furthermore, the group focuses on understanding regional and local weather phenomena, including their variability and long-term changes, through dynamical downscaling and observational analysis. We are also developing AI\/ML and cloud-resolving modeling systems to simulate mesoscale convective systems and their predictability at sub-seasonal scales, as well as providing future projections of extremes at regional and local scales.<\/p>\n
