Mission Mausam
A key initiative to strengthen climate modelling, satellite observations, atmospheric research, and numerical weather prediction (NWP) for improved forecasts.
Technological Advancements
Utilizes advanced Multi-Model Ensemble (MME), coupled dynamical climate models, NWP model upgrades, AI/ML applications, and a strengthened observation network (DWRs, AWSs, satellite data).
Dissemination & Last-Mile Connectivity
Employs a Decision Support System (DSS), Panchayat Mausam Seva Portal, mobile apps, web portals, and leverages Krishi Sakhis/Pashu Sakhis for widespread dissemination of advisories.
International Collaboration
Active participation in WMO programmes and collaboration with international meteorological organizations for data exchange and best practices.
Objective
Strengthen climate modelling, satellite observations, atmospheric research, and numerical weather prediction to improve understanding of changing monsoon patterns and extreme weather events.
Key Components
Adoption of Multi-Model Ensemble (MME), upgradation of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models, strengthening observation networks (DWRs, AWSs), expansion of satellite-based observations, and use of AI/ML.
Dissemination
Utilizes multiple platforms including mobile applications, web portals, and the Panchayat Mausam Seva Portal for last-mile advisories, leveraging networks like Krishi Sakhis.
Indigenous Development
Focus on indigenous, technology-driven systems like IMD’s Decision Support System (DSS) under 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' and development of climate reanalysis datasets (NGFS, IMDAA).
