In the last two decades, important knowledge has emerged about the present climate of the earth and its dramatic changes in the past. New observations from field experiments, satellites and ocean buoys, together with theoretical calculations and powerful computer models, aid in understanding complexities of the climate. There are several fundamental open questions and new discoveries to be made, for example, the nature of atmosphere-ocean-land interactions and its role in the variability of the monsoon. With increasing demand for more accurate weather and climate forecasts, the prospects for young researchers are bright. The challenges of understanding and prediction of climate are multidisciplinary and we welcome science and engineering graduates to join us in this exciting endeavour.
