The aim of this study is to analyze meteorological data obtained from the various expeditions made to the Indian stations in Antarctica over recent years and determine how significantly the weather has shown a marked change over the years. For any time series data analysis, there are two main goals: (a) the authors need to identify the nature of the phenomenon from the sequence of observations and (b) predict the future data. On account of these goals, the pattern in the time series data and its variability are to be accurately identified. This paper can then interpret and integrate the pattern established with its associated meteorological datasets collected in Antarctica. Using the data analytics knowledge the validity of interpretation for the given datasets a pattern has been identified, which could extrapolate the pattern towards prediction. To ease the time series data analysis, the authors developed online meteorological data analytic portal at NCPOR, Goa http://data.ncaor.gov.in/.
One of the most important parameters in meteorology is the mean wind profile in the tropical cyclone boundary layer. The signature of the Nisarg cyclone is reported in the Phased Array Doppler Sound Detection and Ranging (SODAR) data installed at the Center for Space and Atmospheric Science (CSAS), Sanjay Ghodawat University, Kolhapur (16.74° N, 74.37° E; near India's western coast). The vertical profile of wind speed and wind direction measured from the sodar system clearly reveals the signature of Nisarg cyclone during 2- 3 June 2020. Our analysis revealed that, the maximum mean wind speed was 17 m/s on 3rd June 2020 at 10:00 IST. It also shows the change in the wind direction from southwest to southeast on 2nd June 2020 and 3rd June 2020. Daily high-resolution reanalysis in the domain, 0-25°N, 65-110°E, during the period from 31st May-5th June 2020 shown the variation in atmospheric pressure of the Nisarg cyclone from 1000 to 1008 hPa, sea surface tremperature (SST) between 30 and 31°C, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) varied between 100 and 240 Wm−2, wind speed between 3 and 15 m/s and low values of vertical wind shear (VWS) was observed to the north of the track Nisarg. These findings could aid in better understanding and forecasting in this region. The present results are initial measurements of sodar system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
