'''Sulochana Gadgil''' is an Indian [[meteorology|meteorologist]]<ref name=insa>{{cite web|title=Indian Fellow: Sulochana Gadgil|url=http://insaindia.org/detail.php?id=N95-1173|publisher=Indian National Science Academy|access-date=25 November 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140316230820/http://www.insaindia.org/detail.php?id=N95-1173|archive-date=16 March 2014|df=}}</ref> at the [[Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences]] (CAOS) in Bangalore, India. She has studied the how and why of [[monsoon]], including farming strategies to cope with rainfall variability and modeling ecological and evolutionary phenomena. Her research led to the discovery of a basic feature of the sub-seasonal variation in the monsoon cloud bands.
<ref>{{cite journal|title=Sikka, D., and S. Gadgil, 1980: On the maximum cloud zone and the ITCZ over Indian longitudes during the Southwest Monsoon." Monthly Weather Review, vol.108, 1840-1853.|journal=Monthly Weather Review|year=1980|volume=108|pages=1840|doi=10.1175/1520-0493(1980)108<1840:OTMCZA>2.0.CO;2|issn=1520-0493}}</ref>
She demonstrated that the monsoon is not a gigantic land-sea breeze but instead is a manifestation of the seasonal migration of a planetary scale system which is seen over non-monsoonal regions as well. In collaboration with the farmers she derived farming strategies which are tailored to the rainfall variability of different regions in India.<ref name=IISc>{{cite web|title=Sulochana Gadgil: Research Interests|url=http://caos.iisc.ernet.in/faculty/sulo/research.html|publisher=IISc|accessdate=25 November 2012}}</ref>

==Early life and education==

She was born in 1944 in [[Pune]]. She hails from a famous genealogical lineage with her great-grandfather being a Minister in the state of [[Tonk (princely state)|Tonk]] known for his heroic efforts to help the people during the severe droughts. Her grandfather and father were respected physicians of their time. At the same time, her grandfather was a freedom fighter and hosted several active participants of the struggle against colonial rule at his house. Her mother was a Marathi writer.<ref name = wmo >{{cite web|url =https://www.wmo.int/pages/publications/bulletin_en/interviews/Gadgil_en.html|title= Interview with Sulochana Gadgil|publisher = WMO|accessdate = 9 September 2013}}</ref>

She did her early schooling in Pune, in the [[Marathi language|Marathi]] medium. She then went on for high-school education in English to Rishi Valley, a boarding school in [[Andhra Pradesh]]. She came back to Pune for her undergraduate studies at Fergusson College where she opted for [[natural sciences]] and majored in [[Chemistry]], [[Physics]] and [[Mathematics]]. At this juncture, she became engaged to Madhav Gadgil, a fellow student and together they decided to pursue [[Science|scientific]] [[career]]s. They were both admitted with scholarships from [[Harvard]].<ref name = wmo />

==Return to India==
In 1971, she returned to India with her husband, who was also a Harvard scholar. She worked in the [[Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology]] as a CSIR pool officer for two years. She worked with scientists like R. Ananthakrishnan and D.R Sikka during this period. She was recruited to the [[Centre for Theoretical Studies]] (CTS) as a member. Her husband was also recruited to CTS as a mathematical ecologist. Out of this, a new institution, the [[Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences]] (CAOS), was born.<ref name=ias>{{cite web|last=Gadgil|first=Sulochana|title=My tryst with the Monsoon|url=http://www.ias.ac.in/womeninscience/LD_essays/106-109.pdf|publisher=Indian Academy of Sciences|accessdate=25 November 2012}}</ref>

==Personal life==
She is married to [[Madhav Gadgil]], an ecologist and they have a daughter and a son.
