Specialization : Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, Climate Change

EXPERIENCE :  10 years teaching/21 years research

    1. Prof. Pradhan Parth Sarthi has been graduated in Mathematics from H. D. Jain College Ara (Bihar); and then received the degree in M. Sc. (Tech) and Ph.D. in Geophysics (Meteorology) from Department of Geophysics, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (UP), India. He has been served as Post-Doctoral Fellow at Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, IIT Delhi and the researched at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)/TERI University, New Delhi. Since 2015, Dr. Parth Sarthi is serving as Professor at Department of Environment Science, Central University of South Bihar, Gaya, India.
    2. With the above experience, Prof. Parth Sarthi has been researched on Boundary layer under Monsoon Trough Boundary Layer Experiment (MONBLEX), Extended Range Monsoon Predication, Eurasian Snow/Himalayan Snow and Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR), Possible impacts of climate change in India, Projections of Rainfall, Temperature, wind, humidity using Regional Climate Model, PRECIS (collaboration with UK Met Office), Projection of surface temperature and summer monsoon rainfall using Global Climate Models of CMIP3, CMIP5 and CMIP6, Meteorological drought over the Gangetic Plain, Climate Change and AES, JE and Malaria, Intraseasonal variability of Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR), Cyclonic storm in the Bay of Bengal, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) and Rainfall.
    3. Our recent research is focused over the densely populated the Gangetic plain of India since this region is evident of impact of large variability in temperature and rainfall leading to the drought, flood and cyclonic disturbances. In addition, under the collaboration with Ministry of Earth Sciences (Government of India) and IITM, Pune, we are hosting a monitoring station for lightning events. The collected data by the sensor will be used for joint research on thunderstorm; lightning and rainfall study.
    4. Our research group i.e. Weather and Climate research group (Environmental modelling laboratory) at Department of Environmental Science, Central University of South Bihar, has currently computing facilities of IBM-AIX (UNIX) server (POWER 710), FUJITSU PRIMERGY CLUSTER (LINUX BASED),HP ML350 (Intel Xeon) data server (LINUX BASED), as well as UK Met Office PRECIS Model, WRF-ARW, RegCM and ArcGIS software.
