K. Banerjee Center of Atmospheric and Ocean Studies

K. Banerjee Center of Atmospheric & Ocean Studies (India Govt. official reference for K. Banerjee Center of Atmospheric & Ocean Studies and KBCAOS, Institute of Inter Disciplinary Studies (IIDS), University of Allahabad was established by the then Science & Technology and department of Ocean Development Minister of India Prof. Murli Manohar Joshi (former HOD of Department of Physics, University of Allahabad) and with little extra effort of NCAOR Goa Founder Director Prof. Prem Chand Pandey, CORALs, IIT Kharagpur
( FNASc, FASc, Emeritus Professor IIT Kharagpur
Dr. P. C. Pandey, Senior scientist SAC/ISRO, NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal holder in India) on 10th - Sep -2000 is one of the eminent science center of India which deals with the Atmospheric & Oceanic phenomena. The Centre have produced near about 7 Ph.D (D.Phil) student till date on his own resources. although still running on NCAOR, Goa fund and it is also supporting MN Saha centre with its facilites till date and it have produced many exports in software field, near about 12, who came here and taken exporties on high computing facilities of centre and spread over world and India in IBM, HP, Wipro, Sun Ultra, Mahindra, Capgemini, Infosys and other Multi-National software companies.

Field of work Carried out by Centre so far

Centre is in fist stage(starting from 9th September 2001) joined with the community of
Princeton Ocean Model (POM) model, Modular Ocean Model (MOM) MOM used in text model version (3&4) and MIT GCM- with an extra effort in Polar MM5 and Antarctic Sea-Ice - 163k -. The Non-linear dynamic prediction work is on the world level without any external coordination due to little extra effort of Prof. A.K. Mittal(Department of Physics) . Work on Chaotic system using Lorentz Attractor is in going to correlate with physical system.There is others are working on Tropopause height in troposphere using MST RADAR. The not less effort were going on on the neural Network by and rain fall. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current works and Indonesian Throughflow problem were done using global and coastal OCEAN MODELs. Thus this centre is involved in multidimensional works with still its adjunct faculties. In near future when permanent faculties will come then it will stand as a centre point of Atmospheric and Ocean Centre in North Central India.

National and International Involvement
KBCAOS is actively involved with various fields of Oceanic & Atmospheric science research, involving several Research Scholars & Scientists. The center is proud to join the different research expeditions & symposia in India & abroad including expeditions to Antarctica & several different international symposia in USA, ICTP Trieste - Italy, & many more countries. It is actively involved with National Center for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR), Goa; Space Application Centre (SAC/ ISRO); INCOIS-, Hyderabad; Centre for Atmospheric Sciences(CAS), IIT Delhi; Centre for Ocean, River, Atmosphere and Land Sciences(CORALs), IIT Kharagpur; Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences(CAOS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Banglore; Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune; National Institute of Oceanography(NIO), Goa; National centre for Mediaum Range Weather Forecaste(NCMRWF), Noida; Centre for Ocean, Land and Atmosphere(COLA), Maryland, USA.and POM user group Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey USA. Centre's researcher team visited COLA, Mary Land, USA two times and also ICTP two times with his two ICTP Associates and Faculties till date.Dr. Avinash Chandra Pandey(Reader, Department of Physics), HOD Material Science (AU), who is Principal Investigator in most of the project in Centre have key role in such a activities of foreign visit to encurage the moral of the new researchers in the changed field from their basic science and computer field. The external person related with the centre, who hand is also in growing the centre, is product of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and world class Meteorologist Jagdish Shukla, now need not to say more about future of this centre if Dr. P.C. Pandey, CORALs, IIT Kharagpur
Prof. Prem Chand Pandey, FNASc, FASc, Senior scientist SAC/ISRO, NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal holder , Founder Director NCAOR Goa and Prof. Jagdish Shukla, two world class Meteorologist are behind this centre to make it an International Centre like CAOS
