IITD-ANCST International Workshop on
Modeling Atmospheric - Oceanic Processes for Weather and Climate Extremes
MAPEX 2019
March 28-29, 2019
Centre for Atmospheric Sciences
Indian Institute of Technology Delhi
IIT Delhi Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, established
in 1961, is one of the most prestigious institutes in
India for engineering and research. The institute
has been granted status of Institute of Eminence
(IoE) by Government of India. It offers higher
education in various branches of Applied Science
and Engineering of a standard comparable to the
best in the world. IIT Delhi was ranked among top
200 in the QS World University Rankings of 2019.
The Centre for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS),
established in the year 1979 at IIT Delhi which
shall soon be completing its landmark 40th year, is
a premier center for education and research in
atmospheric and oceanic sciences in India which is
engaged in doing cutting-edge research in four
core areas: atmospheric modelling, oceanic
modelling, air pollution and climate science.
ANCST The Asian Network on Climate Science and
Technology (ANCST) provides information and
develops research coordination projects led by
Asian researchers in climate science and
technology with emphasis on disaster resilience,
extreme climate events and urban climate change
and related topics. MAPEX 2019 is a key activity of
the Special Topic Group on "Atmosphere - Ocean
Interactions" of ANCST. ANCST is hosted by
Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, with support
from the Cambridge Malaysian Education and
Development Trust (CMEDT) in association with
the Malaysian Commonwealth Studies Centre
(MCSC) of Trinity College, Cambridge.
MAPEX 2019
➢ Knowledge sharing on current status of research in extremes in tropical climate in Asia.
➢ The workshop aims to bring together both academic and researchers which will facilitate an understanding of the operational needs and determination of focus of research on the immediate challenges of predicting extreme weather events.
➢ Leading experts from India and abroad will deliver talks in the workshop.
➢ It is expected that a roadmap to improve predictions of such events will be emerged from these deliberations.
➢ The workshop will also provide platform for students and early career researchers from Asia to present their work and interact with the international scientists working in this area.
Workshop Themes
1. Challenges in operational forecasts of extremeweather events
2. Atmospheric – Oceanic Processes:Mechanisms, drivers and feedbacks leading toextremes
3. Role of environmental factors on extremeweather events
4. Observations, diagnostic analysis and casestudies for extremes
5. Assessment of projected changes of extremesin warming climate
• Participants selected for funding should havesufficient resources to cover all expensesbeforehand. Funds will be reimbursed afterthe workshop participation upon submissionof requisite claim.
• Self-financed researchers are also encouragedto participate in the workshop.
