Klappentext zu „Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region “
This open access book discusses the impact of human-induced global climate change on the regional climate and monsoons of the Indian subcontinent, adjoining Indian Ocean and the Himalayas. It documents the regional climate change projections based on the climate models used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) and climate change modeling studies using the IITM Earth System Model (ESM) and CORDEX South Asia datasets. The IPCC assessment reports, published every 6-7 years, constitute important reference materials for major policy decisions on climate change, adaptation, and mitigation. While the IPCC assessment reports largely provide a global perspective on climate change, the focus on regional climate change aspects is considerably limited. The effects of climate change over the Indian subcontinent involve complex physical processes on different space and time scales, especially given that the mean climate of this region is generally shaped by the Indian monsoon and the unique high-elevation geographical features such as the Himalayas, the Western Ghats, the Tibetan Plateau and the adjoining Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and Bay of Bengal. This book also presents policy relevant information based on robust scientific analysis and assessments of the observed and projected future climate change over the Indian region.

Autoren-Porträt
R. Krishnan specializes in climate modelling studies on scientific issues relating to the "dynamics, variability, and predictability of the Asian monsoon, climate change and impacts on monsoon precipitation extremes, phenomenon of monsoon breaks and droughts". Currently, he is leading the Centre for Climate Change Research (CCCR) at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, and is involved in developing in-house capability in Earth System Modeling to address various scientific issues related to climate change and monsoon. He carried out Ph.D. research in Atmospheric Sciences at the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, and obtained Ph.D. degree from the University of Pune in 1994. He has published more than 100 scientific articles/papers, advised Ph.D.s (11 awarded, 12 ongoing) as supervisor/co-supervisor and 6 Master (M.Sc/M.Tech) dissertations, and offered training lectures in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics & Atmospheric Science. He is a fellow of the Indian Academy of Science (IASc), Indian National Science Academy (INSA), and the Indian Meteorological Society (IMS). He is a Member of the Joint Scientific Committee (JSC) of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), Coordinating Lead Author (CLA) of the Chapter on Water Cycle Changes in the IPCC WG1 Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), and CLA of the Chapter on Climate Change in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Monitoring and Assessment Programme (HIMAP). He has also served as a Member of the CLIVAR Monsoon Panel and the CORDEX Science Advisory Team of the WCRP, WMO. He is an Editor for the scientific journals-Earth System Dynamics (EGU Journal), Mausam (IMD Journal), and Journal of Indian Society of Remote Sensing.J. Sanjay specializes in the area of regional climate change with a focus on the generation of future climate change scenarios for the Indian monsoon region using dynamical downscaling techniques with high resolution regional climate models (RCMs). He is leading the CCCR team for coordinating

the data archiving, management, and dissemination activities of the South Asia component of the international coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) initiative by the World Climate Research Program (WCRP) of WMO. Prior to joining IITM in 1988, Sanjay completed M.Sc. in Meteorology at the Cochin University of Science and Technology. He carried out Ph.D. research in Atmospheric Sciences at IITM and obtained Ph.D. degree from the University of Pune in 2007. He has 40 publications, including 21 papers in peer-reviewed journals. Sanjay is a Member of the WCRP CORDEX Science Advisory Team (SAT), a Contributing Author (CA) of the IPCC Working Group I (WGI) Sixth Assessment Report Chapter Atlas, and a Lead Author (LA) of the Chapter on Climate Change in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) Monitoring and Assessment Programme (HIMAP). He was also a scientific knowledge partner on climate science for a segment of the International CARIAA research programme on climate change Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR) of India.
Chellappan Gnanaseelan is a Senior Scientist and Project Director of Short Term Climate Variability and Prediction, at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. He received his Ph.D. and M.Tech. degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India. He also served as visiting fellow at Florida State University. His research interests include climate variability, Indian Ocean dynamics and variability, annual to decadal climate prediction and variability, ocean modelling, air-sea interaction, monsoon variability and teleconnection, and data assimilation. He has authored over 100 research papers in peer-reviewed journals. He has successfully guided 15 Ph.D. and 30 Master's students and presently guiding many doctoral and postdoctoral students and also contributed considerably to human resource development by teaching Master's and Ph.D. students at Pune University, IITM, University of Hyderabad, IIT B
