O autorze

Venkata Bhaskar Rao Dodla started his career in meteorology in 1976, served the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, Andhra University, India as Professor of Meteorology till superannuation in 2008. Later, he served the Jackson State University, USA as a Visiting Professor during 2009-2013 and as a Distinguished Professor and Director of the Centre for Atmospheric Science, K L University, India during 2014-2017. He initiated teaching and research programs in NWP at Andhra University in 1977 and made significant research contributions on tropical cyclone modelling. With his strong passion for teaching and research, he encouraged and mentored numerous students of M.Sc., M.Tech., and Ph.D. programs inducing them to a career in meteorology and allied disciplines.
