Special Recognition


Prof. S.A. Haider has spent a lifetime in developing models that use basic physics, MHD and Monte Carlo Method. He then demostrated their utility towards the studies on the interaction of low and medium energy electrons within planetary atmospheres. He developed a kinetic model to estimate the current density at differnt potential between magnetosphere and ionosphere of Mars. The continuity momentum model developed by him explains the various layers in the dayside and nightside ionosphere of Mars. Recently, he has pioneered an energy loss model to study galactic cosmic rays and their attentuation in the lower ionosphere of Mars. ISRO has issued a postal stamp in February, 2022 in the honor of Prof. S. A. Haider as a token of recognition for his exceptional contribution in the development of Mars science in India and MOM-I exploration.



Books Published


This book describes upper, middle and lower atmosphere/ionosphere and their escape from Mars. It also describes aeronomy missions, aurora and airglow, thermal emissions, dust storms, conductivity, lightning, trace gases and seasonal variations on Mars. This book has 26 chapters on various topics of martian aeronomy. A large amount of experimental data in the martian aeronomy has been obtained from last six decades. This promotes modeling studies significantly. In this book various models viz Boltzmann transport moodel,continuity momentum and energy equations, Hybrid models, Monte Carlo model, energy loss model, Analytical Yield Spectrum (AYS) and meteoroid ablation model are described.





There has been less emphasis on modeling studies of planetary atmospheres in India in order to create awarness and to attract bright students to take part in modeling activities. A winter school was organised at Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) between December 18, 2006 and January 6, 2007 in which 50 students from different universities and research institutes participated. Advanced courses on various models of planetary atmospheres and numerical methodologies were covered in this school. These courses were: (1) Structure and dynamics of planetary atmospheres, (2) Chemical reaction and transport processes, (3) Solar wind interactions with planetary atmospheres, (4) Processes of airglow emissions, (5) Magnetic fields of the planets, (6) Simulation of ionospheric processes and (7) Numerical analysis and mathematical technologies. This book covers most of the lectures given in the winter school.



In this book various papers on the Martian atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres are complied. These papers were invited and presented in Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) meeting held in Singapore, 2010. The objective of AOGS is to promote science and discussion on various issues for the benefit of humanity in Asia and Oceania region. Prof. S.A. Haider was the President of Planetary Sciences in AOGS (2012-2014).

Modeling of Earth's Magnetosphere and other Magnetic Planets

Theoretical aspects on the interaction of solar wind with earth and other planets will be studied in detail under this programme. This study is possible by developing three dimensional magnetodydrodynamic model which can explain obstacle, shapes, sizes and extension of the tail which are generated by the strength and direction of the solar wind approaching the planets and interacting them.

Dynamics of Thermospheres of Venus, Earth and Mars

The long term objective is to compare physical and chemical processes responsible for the dynamical structures of the thermospheres of Venus, Earth and Mars. The atmospheres of these planets are driven by similar forcing agents and subsequently change over time both naturally and in the case of earth as a result of human influence.

Analytical Yield Spectrum

This approach is based on Monte Carlo method. In this method mono energetic electron of different incident energies are introduced in a gas medium. The energy of secondary or tertiary electrons and their positions were calculated at time when primary electrons ionize the atmospheric constituents. In this way, yield spectrum function was generated for the calculation of the yield of any state in the mixture of gases. The function was fitted analytically later. This approach has been found very useful for low and medium energy loss processes in planetary ionospheres.

Three Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Approach

The computer modelling of solar wind interaction with planetary magnetospheres and its assoscaited current system is now current interests of scientists throughout the globe. This study has been started by developing three dimensional MHD model which can explain obstacle, shapes, sizes and extension of the tail which are generated by strength and direction of the solar wind approaching the planet and interacting with them.
