atmospheric processes that affect global climate in general. The course contents
will cover all aspects of ocean atmospheric interactions including operational
experience, theory, modeling and instrumentation for observation. The School
aims to provide necessary wherewithal to all researchers who intend to work in
the forthcoming national projects on ocean atmospheric interactions.

Topics to be covered: Broadly it will cover the following topics:-

• Physics of Ocean-Atmosphere interactions

• Dynamics of Oceanic - Atmospheric processes
• Measurement and estimation of Ocean-Atmospheric exchange
fluxes
• Fundamentals of modeling in Ocean – Atmospheric processes
• Role of Oceans on Monsoon and Climate variability
• Ocean Bio-geochemical processes and Climate change
• Satellite remote sensing of Air-sea interaction processes
• Effects of Global warming on regional climate change

Faculty: Experts with research/ teaching experience from premier Universities

and other educational institutes, advanced research centres and other
organizations involved in areas relevant to Atmospheric and Ocean sciences.
