Dr. M. Mohapatra is the Head of Weather Forecasting Services of India Meteorological Department and WMO recognised Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre for Tropical Cyclones at IMD, New Delhi. His main research interests include high impact weather events, especially tropical cyclones. He has 22 years of experience in meteorological services and research and is the author of 60 research papers published in peer reviewed journals. He has received a number of recognitions including 25th Biennial Mausam Award and Young Scientist Award of Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India for his research contributions in the field of atmospheric sciences.
B.K. Bandyopadhyay got his post-graduate degree in solid state physics in 1976 from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He joined as a Research Scholar in Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune and during next three years, he was associated with research on microphysical characteristics of clouds. He joined India Meteorological Department in 1981 and was engaged in operational weather forecasting for past 30 years which mainly included cyclone and heavy rainfall warning services and allied meteorological research. He has made significant research contributions mainly on tropical cyclones. He has about 40 research publications in the national and international journals.
