With an outlay of Rs 2,000 crore over two years, the ambitious programme, which will be primarily implemented by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, is expected to be a transformative and multi-faceted initiative that will help scale capacity and resilience in communities, sectors and ecosystems, according to a statement from the Cabinet.
Under its framework, India will exponentially showcase research, development and capacity in atmospheric sciences, especially climate monitoring, modelling, forecasting and management. By integrating advanced observation systems, high-performance computing and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, Mission Mausam will set a new benchmark for predicting climate with high accuracy, he said.
The mission objective will include improving observations and understanding to provide highly accurate and timely weather and climate information on temporal and spatial scales, including monsoon forecasts, air quality alerts, extreme weather events and cyclones, meteorological interventions to manage fog, hail and rain. , etc., strengthening capacities and generating awareness.
Critical elements of the Mausam Mission will include the deployment of next-generation radar and satellite systems with advanced sensors and high-performance supercomputers, the development of improved Earth system models, and an automated GIS-based decision support system for the dissemination of information. real-time data.
The Mausam Mission will directly benefit numerous sectors, such as agriculture, disaster management, defence, environment, aviation, water resources, energy, tourism, shipping, energy and health, according to the statement, adding that it will also improve data-driven technology. decision making in areas such as urban planning, road and rail transport, offshore operations and environmental monitoring.
Three institutes of the Ministry - India Meteorological Department, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology and National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting will mainly implement the mission. They will be supported by others such as India's National Center for Ocean Information Services, the National Center for Polar and Ocean Research and the National Institute of Ocean Technology, along with collaborating national and international institutes, academic institutions and industries.
