Study of water budget terms i.e. moisture flux convergence, evaporation, precipitation and runoff of different regions in the globe by using reanalysis data sets and there impacts on regional weather prediction. Computed regional meteorological drought and its tele-connection with Climate Indices. Monitoring precipitation by using Atmospheric Climate Models Inter-comparison Project (AMIP) and Coupled Atmospheric Climate Models Inter-comparison Project (CMIP) and examine their regional behaviors.
