π¨New Review Andrew Feldman, @A_J_Felton, Alan Knapp, @carBenPoulter et al discuss plant responses to fewer but larger rain events TL;DR: productivity typically increases in dry ecosystems but decreases in wet ecosystems nature.com/articles/s4301β¦β¦ (rdcu.be/dEeSK)



Many many congratulations Dr. Dr Akhilesh Gupta π Your incredible journey in advancing climate research and education in the country is no less than awe-inspiring. Centre for Climate Studies, IIT Bombay is ever grateful for your nurturing support and guidance ππ Our students always look up to you π


Experimental forecast system for Monsoon Rain in Mumbai developed by students of Centre for Climate Studies, IIT Bombay , it says onset on the day after tomorrow (Friday, 7th June, 2024) with a good rain of 10-25 mm across the city. Soon, we will come up with a portal here. #mumbairain IIT Bombay


Using systematic satellite observations of land surface temperature and SM during soil dry-downs, the spatially-explicit global distribution of the critical SM threshold of plant water stress and its drivers is uncovered. Super grateful to Philippe.ciais


As promised, Centre for Climate Studies, IIT Bombay is releasing today the web portal for Experimental Mumbai rainfall forecasting and Flood monitoring at: mumbaiflood.in The app for Android phones is available: play.google.com/store/apps/det⦠Please give your feedback & don't forget to report flooding



Late update: Check our recent ERL article lead by Ashish Navale where we studied the role of land feedbacks in persistence of the Cyclone Gulab (2021) over the Indian landmass. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108β¦



We estimate critical soil moisture to identify regions of land-atmosphere interactions across seasons using soil moisture and diurnal soil temperature covariability. New paper now out in Water Resources Research. Congrats, Sandipan Paul and Andrew Feldman dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024WRβ¦

How well can we identify critical soil moisture from diurnal soil temperature? Our EF paper led by Sandipan Paul with Andrew Feldman, compares our approach with two methods. Our method is more reliable, revealing strong L-A coupling in overlooked regions. doi.org/10.1029/2025EFβ¦
