  1. High-resolution Regional Atmospheric Analysis The CSIR Initiative Modelling and Implementation Issues HiRRAA P Goswami C-MMACS, Bangalore www.cmmacs.ernet.in February, 2010

  2. Genesis and Scope • High-resolution atmospheric and land data is critical for many (industrial) applications • Wind energy • Geo-technical applications • Airports and Shipyards A data set homogeneous in space and time is required at spatial resolution of about 1 Km.

  3. Objectives • Phase I: Develop a high-resolution (~ 10 Km), regional (Indian sub-continent) atmospheric analysis combining • Observations • Model Hierarchy • Data assimilation • Debiasing • Downscaling Phase II: High-resolution (~ 1 Km), regional (Indian sub-continent) atmospheric and land surface analysis.
