Recent study on global forest fire indices.

[Rajarshi Das Bhowmik @HydroClim_IISc]

Our recent study founds that global forest fire indices (reanalysis) have high accuracy, can yield the fire seasonality, and the indices are strongly correlated with met variables. Can be used for extended forecasts, and sectoral analysis.

[Rajarshi Das Bhowmik @HydroClim_IISc]

Our recent study found that #floods in peninsular rivers have strong seasonality which is modulated by climate variability modes. @LekhaPosa @venky5194 @ICWaR_IISc

Proud to be part of @ICWaR_IISc 's in-house, quasi-operational urban flood model for Bengaluru, led by Prof PP Mujumdar

[Rajarshi Das Bhowmik @HydroClim_IISc]

Our article on the absence of a temporal trend on retrospective forecasts is now available online. Absence of a temporal trend may lead to substantial error in operational forecasts.
