in general

to optimize the computational cost of high resolution regional models using nesting technique
to understand the air-sea dynamics of sub-tropical and tropical zones
to model fate of pollutants and determine assimilation capacity of the environment

region specific

to model the Indian subcontinent and develop scenarios of future changes in (a) freshwater resources of the Himalayan region, (b) storminess of the Bay of Bengal region
to enrich the already set coupled atmosphere-ocean Southwest Pacific ocean model with sediment and wave models

Current state of PhD project

	Objectives/Scientific questions
objective 1	Setting up of coupled atmosphere-ocean model for Southwest Pacific ocean region. Does coupling to atmosphere helps better define the state of ocean and atmosphere during 1960s?
objective 2	How well are the major hydrographic features of the Southwest Pacific region represented by the coupled model and how do they behave by end of 21st century?
