• Niranjan Kumar Kondapalli currently works at the Center for Climate System Research, The University of Tokyo. 
• Niranjan does research in Climatology. 
• Their current project is 'Advanced Study on Precipitation Enhancement in Arid and Semi-Arid Regions.' He worked previously in a project "CLIMATE, WATER, HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN ARID REGIONS".

Research:

• On the epochal variation of intensity of tropical cyclones in the Arabian Sea.
• A case study of convectively generated gravity waves coupling of the lower atmosphere and mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT) over the tropical region: An observational evidence.
• Unusual enhancement in tropospheric and surface ozone due to orography induced gravity waves.
• North Atlantic controls on wintertime warm extremes and aridification trends in the Middle East.
• Identification of the cloud base height over the central Himalayan region: Intercomparison of Ceilometer and Doppler Lidar.
• Modulation of surface meteorological parameters by extratropical planetary-scale Rossby waves.
• Wintertime precipitation variability over the Arabian Peninsula and its relationship with ENSO in the CAM4 simulations.
• Wave like signatures in aerosol optical depth and associated radiative impacts over the central Himslayan region.
• Investigation of aerosol optical, physical, and radiative characteristics of a severe dust storm observed over UAE.
• Hydrological extremes in hyper-arid regions: A diagnostic characterization of intense precipitation over the Central Arabian Peninsula.
• Low-mid latitude D-region ionospheric perturbations associated with 22 July 2009 Total Solar Eclipse: Wave-like signatures inferred from VLF observations.
• Precipitation variability over UAE and Global SST Teleconnections.
