Research Interests

  • Space-weather
  • Geomagnetic storms and substorms
  • Ionosphere-Thermosphere system
  • Airglow

  • Future plan

    To understand
  • Various coupling aspects of ionosphere-thermosphere system (ITS) over low latitudes
  • Forcings on ITS over low latitudes from the Sun-interplanetary medium-magnetosphere system
  • Forcings on ITS from lower atmosphere in the form of tides, gravity waves, planetary waves etc.
  • Mesosphere - Lower Thermosphere (MLT) coupling processes
  • using ground-based, space, rocket and balloon-borne as well as simulation techniques.
