Assoc Prof Dr. Krishna Kishore Osuri | Atmospheric Science | Best Researcher Award

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Krishna Kishore Osuri specializes in several areas of atmospheric science and meteorology. His research focuses on numerical weather prediction of extreme weather events such as tropical cyclones, severe thunderstorms, and monsoon depressions. He is also involved in preparing high-resolution reanalysis by assimilating different sources of observational data into model initial conditions for improved predictions of extreme weather events. Additionally, Dr. Osuri’s work includes studying the role of land surface processes in weather forecasting and using land data assimilation techniques to improve land surface forcing in numerical models. His research also extends to climate studies on extreme weather events, contributing to a better understanding of these phenomena.
