Forecasting the MONSOON
Every year, India looks expectantly towards the southwest monsoon for its annual water requirements. An array of forecasting systems has been developed overtime by the India Meteorological Department to achieve optimum accuracy in predictions.
Extended Range Forecast
Predicting wet or dry spells on a large scale, three to four weeks prior to its onset, is essential for agriculture and hydrology. Improved understanding of ocean and atmospheric interactions and innovation in forecast models in recent years have led to better predictions.
