On July 7, Dr R. Krishnan was welcomed by Prof. Elena Surovyatkina as part of the B-EPICC project. The two scientists have collaborated for many years and discussed the Indian Summer Monsoon under Climate Change during their meeting, planning for further advance. On July 8, the scientists discussed the topic of the long-term forecasts of the onset and withdrawal of the Indian Summer Monsoon that Prof. Surovyatkina provided for central India already for seven years. On July 10, Dr R. Krishnan held an open lecture on “Declining Arctic Ice and its Implications on the South Asian Monsoon in a Changing Climate” at PIK, where he provided an overview of climate change in the Arctic and discussed key scientific issues based on the IPCC AR6 report. Dr.Krishnan also described ongoing efforts at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology to study the linkages between the Arctic and the South Asian monsoon region in a changing climate.
Dr. R. Krishnan's valuable insights are important for the success of the B-EPICC project.
