Land-atmosphere interaction and radiative-convective equilibrium
I present work on several topics related to land-atmosphere interaction and radiative-convective equilibrium: the first two research chapters invoke ideas related to land-atmosphere interaction to better understand radiative-convective equilibrium; the last two research chapters use the framework …

A Multi-Scale Study of the Nexus of U.S. Droughts: Predictability, Mechanisms, and Awareness
… the dissertation delineates the influence of land cover and use changes (LCUC) on drought development at multiple scales. Lastly, I examine how the citizenry perceives emerging droughts at the state and nation-level. The findings of the dissertation will further help refine drought forecasting …

Turbulence in Natural Environments
<p>Problems in the area of land/biosphere-atmosphere interaction, hydrology, climate modeling etc. can be systematically organized as a study of turbulent flow in presence of boundary conditions in an increasing order of complexity. The present work is an attempt to study a few subsets of this …

Land-atmosphere Exchange and Air Quality during Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layer Events
… boundary layer (ABL) below 1 km in the atmosphere, have been notoriously difficult to capture using numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. The land-atmosphere exchange processes control the energy exchange at the interface of the surface and atmosphere, which impacts the ABL …

Impacts of Land-Atmosphere Interactions on Regional Convection and Rainfall
… moist processes. In particular, simulating the interaction between the land surface and regional convection and rainfall is a source of uncertainties and presents three main barriers: (i) NWP models generally have simple land surface schemes, (ii) land-atmosphere coupling is not properly …

Data assimilation and dynamical downscaling of remotely-sensed precipitation and soil moisture from space
… invaluable information for understanding the land-atmosphere water and energy exchanges. However, the use of satellite observations in hydrologic applications is often limited by coarse space-time resolutions. This study aims to develop a data assimilation system that integrates …
