Dr. H. (Harish) Baki

Profile

I am a climate modeler having experience with the WRF atmospheric model. Currently, I am working with Prof. Sukanta Basu on wind and solar energy applications as a postdoctoral researcher. I received my Ph.D. in 2022 from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. My thesis was on calibrating the WRF model combined with machine learning to improve the forecast accuracy of North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones.

Research themes

I have studied the impact of physics schemes and the model parameters on North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones using the WRF model. In addition, machine learning algorithms-based model calibration and data assimilations were part of my previous research.

My research area includes but is not limited to:

  • WRF model simulation
  • Model calibration
  • Parameterization schemes and model parameters
  • Data assimilation
  • Machine learning

Research

I am interested in improving the forecast accuracy of atmospheric models through model calibration combined with machine learning algorithms. My postdoctoral research mainly focuses on hindcast simulations using the WRF model at the super-scale resolution for 30 years. In addition, appropriate machine learning algorithms are selected and implemented in weather forecasting
