Ms. Anagha Prasad, a PhD scholar under the supervision of Dr G. Kishore Kumar in the Centre for Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Science (CEOAS), University of Hyderabad, was selected to present her research work at the 16th International Workshop on technical and scientific aspects of iMST radar and lidar (MST16/iMST13) from 9-13 September 2024 held at Rostock, Germany. She also got selected for the iMST radar and lidar school held in Kühlungsborn from September 6-8, 2024. Since its inception in 1984, the MST workshops have been at the forefront of atmospheric and ionospheric research and technological innovation. The MST16 workshop brings together researchers worldwide to discuss advancements in understanding middle atmosphere dynamics, mainly focusing on radar, lidar, and related atmospheric measurements.
Ms Angha Prasad presented her paper entitled “Characteristics and Momentum Flux of the Quasi 2-Day Wave over the Low-Latitude MLT Region,” where she explored the characteristics of the Quasi 2-Day Wave and its implications on momentum fluxes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. This work is the first of its kind, and it garnered appreciation from the international MST research community and forms a solid foundation for her future research endeavours.
Her participation in the workshop was made possible through financial support from the workshop organisers and travel grants provided by the Institution of Eminence (IoE), University of Hyderabad.
