About
Dr. Malasala Murali Nageswara Rao is working as UCAR Scientist-III at NOAA/NWS/Office of Modelling and Development (OMD), University Research Court, Riverdale Park, MD, USA to improve forecast guidance (or forecast reliability) derived from the raw numerical ensemble predictions is through statistical post-processing using reforecast data from the same model configuration with consistent initial analysis and he also worked at NOAA, NCEP, CPC, International Desks for an inventory of heatwaves based on various definitions and its prediction over Africa using Analysis and model products.
Dr. Rao received Ph.D. in Meteorology and Oceanography with the thesis entitled "The Role of Atmosphere-Ocean Coupled Climate System: Prediction of winter Precipitation and Temperatures over Northwest India” from the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, India, and Masters in Physical Oceanography from the same University.
He worked in an International Multi-institutional collaborative project (IRI, NCEP, NCMRWF, IITM, ECMWF, JAMSTEC, ICAR, and IMD) "Development and Application of Extended Range Forecast System for Climate Risk Management in Agriculture" at the Center for Atmospheric Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi (3 years) and School of Earth, Ocean, and Climate Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar (6 years); Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam (1 year), Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India and Jackson School of Geological Sciences, the University of Texas at Austin in Various research positions.
