Participating the EGU: Constraining GHG Budgets

1st year activities

I began my doctoral studies in June 2022 at the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics, University of Vienna. My research revolves around advancing our understanding of carbon fluxes in the atmosphere. To achieve this, I employ a Lagrangian particle dispersion model, enabling me to investigate the transport of greenhouse gases and ascertain the sensitivities of their molar mixing ratios to various fluxes. Additionally, I use satellite observations and data collected from ground stations to deepen my analysis. Together with the information from the bottom-up inventories, I use a Bayesian Inversion system to constrain the greenhouse gas budget and thereby reducing the existing uncertainties associated with the greenhouse gas emissions and sinks.

Recently, as a part of my research, I attended the European Geoscience Union conference, EGU 2023 and presented on the topic titled 'Using Satellite Column Observations Towards Constraining the GHG Budget over India.' This allowed me to share my findings and engage in fruitful discussions with fellow researchers in the field.
