National Monsoon Mission Earth Science Ministry

 The Minister of Earth Science informed Rajya Sabha about National Monsoon Mission


Highlights:
♦ Under the Monsoon Mission, the Ministry has developed the most advanced weather and climate prediction models, which are now in operation.
♦ These models include models for short-range and medium-range (1-10 days), extended-range (10 days to 30 days), and seasonal (up to one season).
Targets of Monsoon Mission:
♦ Use the Monsoon Mission Model to develop seamless forecasting systems on different time scales, such as Seasonal, Extended range, Short-range forecasting.
♦ Initiate and coordinate working partnerships between Indian and foreign institutions to develop a system for forecasting extreme climate applications
♦ Develop and implement climate application systems with social impact (such as agriculture, flood forecasting, extreme event forecasting, wind energy, etc.)
♦ Advanced data assimilation system can prepare high-quality data for model prediction.
The major achievements of NMM in the past three years:
♦ Establish an advanced forecast system for Seasonal forecast; Extended range forecast and Very-high resolution Short-range forecast.
♦ Commissioning of the Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) for short and medium-range predictions of 12 kilometres.
