A project by Dr Lakshmi Narayanan, Assistant Professor, Environmental Studies, SIAS has been approved under the prestigious ISRO RESPOND programme. The project proposal is titled ‘Large and small-scale ionospheric plasma irregularities using airglow imaging and GNSS TEC measurements’.This will be a two year project in collaboration with Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. The support is approximately Rs. 28,00,000/- and manpower at the level of Project Associate. In this project Dr Narayanan will develop a low cost instrument to study oxygen airglow at 630 nm wavelength emanating from 200 – 300 km above the surface of the earth. He will also develop software to efficiently analyse the voluminous datasets involving machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms.
