Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2008 in the subject Physics – Astronomy, University of Kerala (Space Physics Laboratory, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre – Indian Space Research Organization, Dept. of Space, Govt. of INdia), course: Physics – Atmospheric Sciences, language: English, abstract: Troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where the temperaturedecreases with increasing altitude. The prime objective of this study is thecharacterization of various atmospheric processes ranging from a few kilometers to afew hundreds of kilometers taking place within this layer over the southern part ofIndian sub-continent with the aid of numerical atmospheric models and observationaldata. With a view to broadening our understanding on some of the interestingatmospheric events such as Sea/Land Breeze Circulation (SLBC), Mountain Waves,and Thunderstorms, hitherto not attempted very much in an analytical and quantitativesense by many researchers the world over, the contents of this thesis titled \
