From 65438 to 0920, Zhu Kezhen was invited by President Guo Bingwen to be employed by Nanjing Normal University, the predecessor of Nanjing University.

192 1 year, Nanjing normal university was transformed into national southeast university, and the department of geography was established, with Zhu Kezhen as the head of the department, and began to teach modern meteorology courses.

From 65438 to 0924, the geography department of Southeast University set up three groups: geology, meteorology and geography, among which meteorology was the earliest meteorological specialty in China.

1928, the national central university was established, and the department of geography was changed to geology, minerals and geography and meteorology. Institute of Meteorology of China Academy of Sciences was established in Nanjing Arctic Pavilion, with Zhu Kezhen as its director.

65438-0930 Geography Department is divided into Geology Department and Geography Department. Hu Huanyong is the head of the Department of Geography, which is divided into two groups: geography and meteorology.

1944, the Meteorological Department was separated from the Department of Geography and the Meteorological Department of National Central University was established. It was the first meteorological department in China, and Huang was the first person in charge.

1980, resume sending overseas students.

65438-0983, Professor Lu Yurong is the head of the Department of Meteorology. Weather dynamics and climatology were rated as national key disciplines. The tropical weather laboratory was established with the approval of the State Education Commission. Establish two doctoral programs in weather dynamics and climatology.

From 65438 to 0984, Lu Yurong was transferred to the Party Committee Secretary of Nanjing University, and Wu took over as the head of the Department of Meteorology.

1985 recruits the first batch of doctoral students, and recruits junior college students majoring in weather dynamics for remote western provinces.

1986, the Department of Meteorology was renamed the Department of Atmospheric Science. Set up atmospheric environment specialty (undergraduate course). Set up three master's majors in weather dynamics, climatology and atmospheric physics.

65438-0987 Approved by the State Education Commission, Nanjing University Institute of Disaster Weather and Climate was established.
