Govt to unveil Bharat Forecasting System on Monday for weather prediction - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

Developed by Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), the Bharat Forecasting System (BFS) will provide forecasts with a 6 kilometre resolution --? the highest in the world --? that would allow forecasters to predict small-scale weather features more accurately.

The new forecasting model, developed by researchers including Parthasarathy Mukhopadhayay, was made possible due to installation of the new supercomputer Arka at the IITM campus last year with a capacity of 11.77 petaflops and storage capacity of 33 petabytes.

The government will on Monday unveil a new 'Bharat Forecasting System' that will enable the weather office to provide more accurate and localised predictions.
