LABORATORY FACILITIES
METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATORY
Meteorological observatory is established in the JNTUH premises. The weather observations recorded are wind speed, wind directions (cup anemometer & wind wane), dry bulb, wet bulb, maximum and minimum temperatures (Thermometers), Rain fall (Rain guage) and Evaporation(Pan evaporometer).
WEATHER ANALYSIS LABORATORY
The existing meteorological lab facilities are used for plotting & analysis of weather charts. The students are provided with PCs and internet to browse various national and international weather sites to know the day to day weather and to acquaint themselves with the latest developments in weather and climate studies. The students are also availing the observatory and forecasting facilities of IMD Hyderabad for their better understanding of the subject.
GEOINFORMATICS LABORATORY
In Geoinformatics Laboratory, students are trained in interpretation of the Ocean & Atmospheric parameters like Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs), Sea Surface Heights (SSH), Sea Surface Currents, Mixed Layer Depth (MLD), Chlorophyll , Clouds, Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Temperatures and Salinity profiles from ARGO floats.
