Meteorologist

Research

Meteorologists in India work at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM Pune), private forecast companies such as Skymet Weather and Tomorrow.io India, and at state disaster management authorities. Core work spans interpreting NWP model output (WRF, GFS, ECMWF, CFSv2), issuing monsoon onset and withdrawal forecasts, tracking cyclones in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, producing aviation METARs and TAFs, generating agromet advisories for Krishi Vigyan Kendras, and analysing radar reflectivity from the DWR network and INSAT-3D/3DR satellite products. Entry into IMD is via the UPSC Geo-Scientist (Meteorology) exam or the IMD Meteorologist 'A' direct recruitment; IITM Pune recruits research scientists through CSIR NET/JRF or direct PhD panels. An M.Sc. in Meteorology (from Pune University, IIT Delhi, Andhra University, Cochin University) or a closely related physical science is the standard qualification.
