DATE: 18 February 2019 to 23 February 2019
VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bangalore.
Although total rainfall during the South Asian Monsoon varies by only ~10% across India, spatiotemporal variability in precipitation is large, difficult to predict, and has far-reaching implications for local communities. The dependence of an agrarian economy on rainfall makes prediction of monsoon variability of paramount importance to India and other countries in South Asia. Currently, representation of the monsoon in global climate models exhibits large biases over the Indian Ocean. In particular, skill in prediction of intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs), which are associated with active (wet) and break (dry) periods, is modest compared to its potential, giving reason to strive for improved forecast capabilities. Ocean-atmosphere coupled models have greater skill in representing ISOs compared to stand-alone atmospheric models. This discrepancy highlights the importance of air-sea interaction to ISO prediction.
The focus of this workshop is on air-sea interaction within the Bay of Bengal, a region that connects the ocean-atmosphere-land through processes that regulate delivery of freshwater to the nations around its periphery. During summer, southwesterly winds gather moisture from the ocean and carry it deep inland over the Indian subcontinent, bringing welcome rains to a parched land. During winter, the winds reverse, and the ocean circulation responds by dispersing terrestrial runoff into the bay. This freshwater impacts the ocean’s circulation through modification of upper ocean structure and surface temperature, thus affecting ocean coupling with the atmosphere. Better characterizations of the structure and processes in the Bay of Bengal are needed to improve the representation of its role in the monsoons.

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺
YouTube, an American video-sharing website based in San Bruno, California, offers a diverse range of user-generated and corporate media content. 🌟
Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
While most content is uploaded by individuals, media corporations like CBS and the BBC also contribute. Unregistered users can watch videos, while registered users enjoy additional privileges such as uploading unlimited videos and adding comments.
Monetization and Impact 🤑
YouTube and creators earn revenue through Google AdSense, with most videos free to view. Premium channels and subscription services like YouTube Music and YouTube Premium offer ad-free streaming.
As of February 2017, over 400 hours of content were uploaded to YouTube every minute, with the site ranking as the second-most popular globally. By May 2019, this figure exceeded 500 hours per minute. 📈
