I joined the Atmospheric Dynamics Modeling Group at University of Michigan. Learning a lot about general circulation models, and Earth system modeling.

This week I participated in dynamical core comparison workshop. Learned a lot about physics and ML models in weather forecasting.

Hop over the Moon: What Chandrayaan 3 saw?
India’s lunar mission Chandrayaan 3 achieved the first soft landing near the Moon's South Pole in August 2023. The lander carried multiple payloads to the lunar surface to investigate the lunar…

The Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan 3 did a hop over the moon's surface. I was going through some images. It's generating a lot of dust.

I developed some tools over the past few months to fetch an open-source GitHub repo and make it into a nice tree. You can see how artistic scientific codes can be written:
