TROPMET is a series of national conferences organized annually by the Indian Meteorological Society (IMS). This year TROPMET will be hosted at the National Institute of Technology Rourkela, Rourkela, Odisha, from 10-12 December 2024. TROPMET series have received generous support from several government and private agencies in the past, and efforts are underway to seek their sponsorship this year. The TROPMET-2024 focuses on High Impact Weather and Climate Extremes over the Indian Subcontinent. Extreme weather and climate events have increased in frequency and severity due to human-caused climate change. Such extremes have far-reaching effects on many areas, including ecosystem damage, human health, and biodiversity. These extreme weather events affect both social and economic sectors, and society needs better risk assessments and earlier alerts for these high-impact weather extremes. TROPMET-2024 will provide an opportunity to exchange the ideas among various stakeholders. Keeping this in view, TROPMET-2024 deliberates on the following subthemes.

• In-situ and space-based observational and monitoring aspects of extreme weather and climate events
• Diagnostics and numerical modelling of extreme weather events over the Indian subcontinent
• Impact of land use and land cover changes on extreme weather and climate events
• Impact of large-scale climate modes on weather extremes (e.g., ENSO, IOD, MJO, etc.)
• Climate data analysis, assessments and projections
• Analysis and prediction of weather and climate extremes using AI/ML/DL techniques etc.
• Early warning systems, mitigation, preparedness and response actions for weather and climate extremes in disaster risk reduction
• Roles of oceanic and atmospheric processes in the development of weather and climate extremes
• Air Pollution Interactions with weather extremes
• Impact of weather extremes on Agriculture, livestock, fisheries including climate change and climate variability
• Attribution of weather extremes to climate change aspects
• Developments of innovative and indigenous met-sensors and ocean technologies
