Preamble
This MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING hereafter called M. o. U. is arrived at among CENTRE FOR STUDY ON RAINFALL AND RADIOWAVE PROPAGATION, SONA COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY, SALEM-5, RADIO & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES DIVISION, NATIONAL PHYSICAL RESEARCH LABORATORY, NEW DELHI-110012, ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, COCHIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, COCHIN-682022, NIGERIAN METEOROLOGICAL AGENCY , PMB 1215 OSHODI, LAGOS, Nigeria.
The MOU aims at promoting mutual interest through cooperation in the field of research on the basis of equality and mutual scientific benefits.
1. Justification
Meteorological problems need expertise from various fields like computer science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics and electronics & communication.
Hence it is necessary that people working in the field of rainfall and radio wave propagation work together. Also of equal importance is to tackle a particular problem in meteorology in different angle, especially in a country like India having diverse climatological conditions.
The Centre for Study on Rainfall and Radio Wave Propagation( CRRP), Sona College of Technology proposes to sign an M.O.U. with RADIO & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES DIVISION , NATIONAL PHYSICAL RESEARCH LABORATORY, NEW DELHI, ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT, COCHIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, COCHIN,
NIGERIAN METEOROLOGICAL AGENCY , PMB 1215 OSHODI, LAGOS, Nigeria to work jointly in understanding the mechanism of rainfall and how it affects radio wave propagation which has its importance in various fields like climatology, weather monitoring, weather forecasting, navigation, agriculture, defense and communication etc.
2. Objectives
