Remote Sensing and Wave Propagation Lab
Climate-informatics : Machine learning in atmospheric and climate science
The major focus of this research group is to use and develop sophisticated statistical and Machine Learning/ Artificial Intelligence for understanding of the climate as well as developing novel techniques for extreme weather forecasting/nowcasting using satellite and ground-based systems.
Radio remote sensing of the atmosphere and precipitation microphysics
Experimental study of atmospheric remote sensing, particularly on the rain and related atmospheric parameters are the key area of this research group. At IIT Indore, continuous measurements are going on for different atmospheric parameters. In addition, we are involved in field campaigns in the Arctic and other locations in India.
Space Based Navigation and GNSS remote sensing
Precise positioning and navigation is one of the critical components of modern day’s economic and societal well-being. The use of satellite based navigation revolutionizes many areas of day-to-day life as well very important for defence, energy, transport, flights, space activities and other areas. GPS is the forefather of space based navigation systems. However, now many such systems are now available from several countries like China, European Union, Russia, Japan etc. Indian also developed its own navigation system, called NavIC.
Machine learning in Space Weather Forecasting
he application of ML/AI in Space weather and solar physics study is at nascent phase, but still provides very interesting results. Given the large volume of data captured by several satellites, it gives an excellent opportunity to explore the domain from a data science perspective. The main research thrust of this group is to develop and use algorithms to study and forecast the space weather effects.
