Dr. Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay did his PhD from SP Pune University in 2005. He has worked for more than 3 decades in Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune in the field of Weather Forecasting and currently working as visiting faculty in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Berhampur, Odisha, India. Dr. Mukhopadhyay mainly worked in developing high resolution model and improving physical parameterization particularly the representation of cloud and convective processes in the General circulation models. Dr. Mukhopadhyay and his group's latest development is an indigenously developed 6km global model "IITM High resolution GLobal Forecast Model" (IITM HGFM) which has been made operational by IMD from 2025. Through such development, his team in IITM under his leadership made cutting edge contributions to ensure Research to Operation (R2O). Currently, Dr. Mukhopadhyay is engaged in developing physical parameterizations using artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) techniques to improve the NWP model fidelity and it's skill for extreme precipitation.
He has edited two books which is published by Nature Springer and co-authored one text book on Indian monsoon entitled “SOUTH ASIAN SUMMER MONSOON: Processes, Prediction, and Societal Impacts” By Madhavan Nair Rajeevan, Parthasarathi Mukhopadhyay and Arindam Chakraborty published by ELsevier (https://shop.elsevier.com/books/south-asian-summer-monsoon/rajeevan/978-0-443-23945-8)
