Indian Summer Monsoon Teleconnection and Moist Convective Dynamics

Explore a comprehensive lecture on the Indian Summer Monsoon Teleconnection delivered by Arindam Chakraborty as part of the Moist Convective Dynamics of Monsoons program. Delve into the complex dynamics of cloud clusters across various scales, from localized turbulent formations to massive organized systems like Monsoons, Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), Cyclones, and the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO). Examine how clouds aggregate through local cloud-circulation feedbacks and their interaction with wave-linked vortices. Study the geophysical fluid dynamics of moist flows, including Shallow Water equations, Two-layer models, and moist dynamics on the equatorial beta plane. Learn about the physics of convective organization, covering radiation, convective aggregation, and observational data. Understand monsoon convection variability through meteorological analysis, microphysics, cloud resolving models, and modern data-driven approaches to forecasting. Gain insights into the limitations of current forecasting methods and the challenges in understanding monsoon convection organization across different time scales.
