II-5 Major scientific contribution

Major scientific contributions include discovery of the interdecadal changes in ENSO properties, theories on convectively coupled equatorial waves and tropical intraseasonal oscillation, and theory of monsoon-warm pool ocean interaction. His scientific research work has established that convectively coupled Kelvin-Rossby wave packet via boundary layer friction provide essential dynamics for the Madden-Julian Oscillation and that atmospheric Rossby wave-SST dipole feedback is one of the major sources of monsoon variability and predictability. He established how the vertical shear can drastically change Matsuno’s wave theory and Gill’s atmospheric response pattern.
