Zeroing In with Dr. GovindanKutty M. | On Meteorology and Building Weather Models

“A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light; as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.”

Helping us figure out the ideas and efforts it takes for mapping out the farthest skies and the deepest oceans in all painstakingly fascinating details is our next guest Dr. GovindanKutty M., an associate professor at the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. In our conversation, we explored the bounds and beyond of atmospheric science, the pressing subject of climate change from a scientific perspective, and all the complexities its understanding entails.

Hear on the entire conversation to venture with us into the journey of a scientist, his work in the elaborate fields of meteorology, climatology, studying weather patterns, and how modelling of such chaotic systems can be made possible.
