Executive Summary :

It is proposed to identify convective storms using Thunderstorm Identification, Tracking, and Analysis and Nowcasting (TITAN) algorithm and represent in terms of duration, area, volume, propagation speed and direction; echo top height, etc.. In addition to the above, as mentioned in the objectives, using multiple radars, the mosaic of radar reflectivity over the Indian region will be brought out
