RMSI: Development News

This workshop was organized by IMD (India Meteorological Department) and the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India

Dr. Indu Jain, Cyclone Expert, RMSI delivered a presentation on Numerical Simulation of Cyclone Induced Rainfall Over Arabian Sea from Storms 'Nanauk' and 'Nilofar' using Mesoscale WRF (ARW) Model. The model simulated parameters, namely, rainfall, winds, relative humidity, maximum reflectivity, central pressure and MSLP, were found in reasonable agreement with available IMD observations. Comparison between estimated and observed data was carried out through standard statistical measures.

A comparison of the model output with single-domain and nested-domain, reveals that nested domain with higher resolutions improve the simulation results as per the current availability of the data. Overall, this case study demonstrates that the nested domain model can be used in real time to simulate the daily rainfall distribution over Arabian Sea even from non land-falling cyclones with reasonable accuracy.

9th India Rendezvous Jan 20-22, 2016, Mumbai, India

RMSI recently showcased it's solutions for the insurance industry at the 9th India Rendezvous, Jan 20-22, 2016, Mumbai, India

RMSI launched its India EarthquakeRisk™ - the first high resolution earthquake risk model for the Indian sub-continent covering India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This is the most up to date high-resolution model for the Indian Subcontinent and was well received by the industry. The conference was a good platform for networking and engaging with professionals from the global insurance and reinsurance industry.

Expert in Focus

Dr. Indu Jain

Dr Jain has completed her Ph.D. in Oceanography from IIT Delhi; and has 20 years of experience in catastrophic risk modelling and developing probabilistic characteristics of Cyclone, Tsunami, and storm surge hazards. She has developed various location-specific numerical storm surge models for the Indian Seas, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Gulf of Thailand, Myanmar, Gulf of Oman, Philippines, Yemen and Pakistan.

She has worked on various sophisticated models like TUNAMI-N2, ADCIRC (finite element), Storm surge model (finite-difference), STWAVE, Tidal model, Cyclone model, WRF, POM and ECOMSED; and has over 40 research publications in the field of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.

Dr. Jain is leading RMSI’s Cyclone risk assessment assignment for 13 states of India, under the NCRMP project of the World Bank.
