AOSS Unit
Atmosphere, Ocean and Space Sciences (AOSS) Unit focusses on Monsoons, Clouds and Circulation systems, Understanding and Modelling Weather and Climate Extremes, Precipitation Systems Climatology, Troposphere-Stratosphere Coupling, Unmanned measurements of Atmospheric turbulence and Climate species, Atmospheric boundary layer, Satellite applications and Modelling Martian atmosphere. IARSc organizes Outreach programmes, Short-term fellowship programme and conducts Post-graduate studies in fields related to Atmosphere, Ocean and Space Sciences and inter-disciplinary areas.
