New research reveals a distinct north-south divide in India's urban pollution patterns, showing how transported dust can paradoxically make some highly polluted cities appear cleaner than their surroundings.

Researchers used a variety of data collected between 2001 and 2015 to study the effect of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) on Surface Air Temperatures in India.

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar,  Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, and the University of Southampton, UK have tried to understand the effects of changes in land use and land cover on regional temperatures in Odisha, which frequently experiences heatwave, cyclones, droughts and floods.

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar studied the pattern of winter rainfall over the last century.

An international team of scientists study how temperature over India has changed over the span of 7 decades and point of the role of geography in changing temperatures.

In a new study, to be published in the journal Aerosol and Air Quality Research, researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, take a closer look at various factors that caused air pollution during Diwali of 2016. 

Thunderstorms, coupled with torrential rains are a regular phenomenon in India. Each year, thunderstorms claim hundreds of lives and destroy crops and livestock worth crores of rupees. Although meteorologists predict them, it’s too late to warn the affected people to save the loss. Now, researchers have developed an accurate model to predict severe thunderstorms in the Indian Monsoon Region (IMR). By being able to accurately predict this weather phenomenon much in advance, we could save many lives, claim the researchers.
