The School of Atmospheric Science (SAS) of NUIST developed from the Department of Meteorology founded within the Nanjing Institute of Meteorology (the predecessor of NUIST) since its establishment in 1960. It was among the first batch of schools and departments that were authorized by the State Council to offer master’s degree programs in 1978. During the year 1988, Synoptic Dynamics became a Key Discipline of the China Meteorological Administration. In 1997 Climatology became a Key Discipline of the China Meteorological Administration. Atmospheric Science, the level I discipline of SAS, was approved to be a doctoral degree program in 1998, and began to have post-doctoral workshop since 1999. Meteorology, a level II discipline of SAS, was selected as a National Key Discipline in 2002 and 2007.
