Mission:
-
Under the Monsoon Mission, Ministry has developed the state-of-the-art weather and climate prediction models, which are now in operational use.
-
These models include models for short range to medium range (1-10 days), extended range (10days to 30 days) and seasonal (up to one season).
-
Following are the targets of Monsoon Mission:
-
Development of a seamless prediction system using monsoon mission model, on different time scales, like Seasonal (for whole Monsoon season), Extended range (up-to 4 weeks), Short range prediction (up-to 5days).
-
Initiate and coordinate working partnership between Indian and foreign institutes to develop a system for prediction of extremes and climate applications
-
Develop and implement system for climate applications having social impacts (such as agriculture, flood forecast, extreme events forecast, wind energy, etc.)
-
Advanced data assimilation system for preparing high quality data for model predictions.
