India, Aug. 20 -- The Government of India issued the following news release:
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) and other MoES institutions have been using AI-based tools for experimental weather and climate forecasting. These include the Advanced Dvorak Technique (AiDT) used for estimate cyclone intensity, AI/ML-based foundation, hybrid (AI+Dynamical) models for weather prediction,etc.
The following are the research works done in AI/ML related to weather forecasts.
Short-range global forecasting.
Downscaling of precipitation data.
Fire Location Forecasting.
Fog Forecasting.
Lightening/Thunderstorm Forecasts.
Deep learning for improved global precipitation in a numerical weather prediction system.
In addition to the above research work, the MausamGPT (Mausam Generative Pre-trained Transformer), which is an AI-based chatbot trained explicitly as a climate service advisor to farmers and stakeholders also being developed.
IMD has been using the latest technologies to provide early warning services to its stakeholders, like farmers, fishermen, etc. Last year, IMD, in collaboration with the Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR), had launched Gram Panchayat Level Weather Forecasting (GPLWF) covering nearly all Gram Panchayats across India using a state-of-the-art multi-model ensemble forecast based on a number of numerical weather prediction models. These forecasts are accessible on digital platforms such as e-Gramswaraj (https://egramswaraj.gov.in/), the Meri panchayat app, e-Manchitra of MoPR, and Mausamgram of IMD
