Severe weather over the Himalayas has calamitous effect, due to complex terrain, poor development, and a fragile economy, and warrants intensified disaster mitigation through increased observations from radars and satellites and further application of mesoscale models.

Northwest India and the Himalayas (Fig. 1) are particularly prone to vagaries of severe weather, which claims casualties every year. This region is influenced by extratropical disturbances that propagate from the west to...
