National Training Workshop On: Climate impacts of carbonaceous Aerosols and Modeling (NT-CCAM-2)

Date: 25 -27 June 2024

Venue: IITM, Pune

Application Link: https://iitmjobs.tropmet.res.in/job/workshop-nt-ccam-2024.php

BACKGROUND:

The carbonaceous aerosols influence the climate by altering the earth’s radiation budget. The major carbonaceous aerosols include Elemental carbon (EC), Black carbon (BC), Brown carbon (Brc) and organic carbon (OC). While the former three aerosols are majorly absorbing in nature, the latter one has both scattering and absorbing character. Out of these BC is considered as the second most global warming agent after CO2. However, the present-day awareness about these aerosols is limited. A 5-day extensive workshop was organized during Dec 4-7, 2023, on the measurement aspects of carbonaceous aerosols.
Hence on continuation to the former workshop, it is proposed to organize a 3-day modelling workshop for early carrier research fellow’s/Master students on the aspect of climate impact of carbonaceous aerosols.

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

The workshop is proposed to address the WRF-Chem modelling technique for studying the impact of carbonaceous aerosols. Along with basic theory of the model, major results obtained using these models on carbonaceous aerosol studies will be described. Extensive hands-on training also will be given for the participants to get used to the modelling.

THEMES AND TOPICS

This workshop would focus on key and emerging topics regarding WRF-Chem modelling of carbonaceous aerosols. The basic theory of WRF-Chem model along with major results obtained on impacts of carbonaceous aerosols will be described. The workshop themes will cover the WRF-Chem modelling aspects of carbonaceous aerosols. The format of this workshop will include lectures and extensive hands-on training on WRF-Chem.

BACKGROUND

The carbonaceous aerosols influence the climate by altering the earth’s radiation budget. The major carbonaceous aerosols include Elemental carbon (EC), Black carbon (BC), Brown carbon (Brc) and organic carbon (OC). While the former three aerosols are majorly absorbing in nature, the latter one has both scattering and absorbing character. Out of these BC is considered as the second most global warming agent after CO2. However, the present-day awareness about these aerosols is limited. Hence it is proposed to organize a 4-day workshop for early carrier research fellows/Master students on the aspect of climate impact of carbonaceous aerosols mainly focusing on its measurements techniques.

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE WORKSHOP
The need and potential to study the climatic changes witnessed in the Indian subcontinent over the Quaternary period is known, understood and felt by common man, scientists/researchers and the government. The workshop will address the full array of paleoclimate research key to the broader scientific questions related to climatic changes during the Quaternary period. Recognizing that the physical, chemical and geological processes governing the Quaternary time frame are highly interconnected, the workshop will address advanced observational techniques, proxies, dating methods, and statistical tools. This workshop will give a hands on training along with the lectures from experts. Lectures will be on stable isotopes, dating methods, biomarkers, paleobiology, dendroclimatology, speleothem, environmental magnetism, pollens, and statistical methods & software/model packages. The workshop will also address the emerging areas and scope for future aspects.
The training workshop aims to build a pool of talented and trained young researchers in the field of Paleoclimate for the development and progress of paleoclimate research in India. The broad objective of the workshop is to assemble leading experts in the paleoclimate field and arrange an interaction with young students pursuing their master’s or Ph.D. It will provide a forum to discuss scientific issues and advancements related to Quaternary research. The ultimate aim is to transfer the knowledge to young students to ascent the Quaternary research in India. The workshop would involve leading scientists/experts from IITM, IIT-Bombay, PRL, IISER, Agharkar Research Institute, SPPU, Pune, National Centre for Earth Science Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, and National centre for ocean and Polar Research, Goa, Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeociences (BSIP), Lucknow, and the Cluster University of Jammu.

THEMES AND TOPICS
This workshop would focus on key and emerging topics regarding physical, chemical, and geological processes governing the climatic variations in Quaternary. The workshop themes will be land and aquatic proxies and related measurement techniques. It will also touch upon the recent advances in statistical methods and software packages. The format of this workshop will include lectures, laboratory training, and fieldwork.

National (Training) Workshop on Greenhouse Gases (GHG-3):
Observations and Inverse Modeling on Indian Regional Perspective
(Virtual Workshop) Between 14-17 Dec 2021

This workshop is intended to provide a venue to unify researchers from various scientific communities and share their information on the observational front.

In addition, a growing number of inverse modeling efforts from India is on an upraise in the recent past.

The workshop will serve as the venue to present and share the knowledge on the regional inversion aspects of Indian greenhouse gas fluxes, methodologies adopted.

A selected pool of students and early career researchers will be trained with few hands-on organized by the experts in the field.

Online training in AI/ML for atmosphere-ocean applications for beginners: 15th Feb 2021 to 19th Feb 2021

ML has been used in atmospheric and oceanic sciences for decades, but it is undergoing a rapid paradigm shift. This shift is driven by three factors- bigger datasets, an increase in computing resources and hardware architecture, and novel deep learning methods. It has been used in the past for post-processing of physical models, clustering, dimensionality reduction, etc. There is an emerging focus on physics guided ML methods too. Thus, this is an application with vast scope in this field in all time and space scales. In such a scenario a series of training from beginner to expert level is required for the students and young scientists of the country.

Considering the huge importance of AI/ML, DESK, DESK-IITM is organizing an 'An online training in AI/ML for atmosphere-ocean applications for beginners’ from 15th Feb 2021 To 19th Feb 2021. This will be lecture cum hands-on training and is aimed at students and young scientists in MoES institutes and other academic institutions across the country (Only for National Participants). This will be the first one of the series of training on this topic and will be followed by more such training sessions in the future. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, this activity will be completely virtual.

Course Description

Machine Learning and its sub-branches such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, non-linear methods have led to important advances in various fields of science. In this course, we cover all the basic aspects of machine learning which can be useful for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

Desirable Pre-requisites:

Experience with meteorological data, familiarity with geospatial data analysis and plots, Python
