As heavy rains, floods and droughts spread across India, the coury is testing artificial ielligence models to improve weather forecasting. Global warming has worsened the weather in India in rece years; Extreme weather eves in 2023 near 3000 people has led to death in this coury.
According to a Reuters report, the Indian Meteorological Departme (IMD) plans to make more accurate weather forecasts with the help of mathematical models and supercomputers. The use of artificial ielligence, which has a wider range of observations than other conveional systems, can help generate higher quality and lower cost data for better forecasting. Accurate weather forecasting is especially importa in India, a coury of 1.4 billion people and the world's second largest producer of rice, wheat and sugar.
Artificial ielligence and weather forecasting in India
The India Meteorological Departme has used artificial ielligence to issue public warnings about heat waves and diseases such as malaria. Now this organization plans to increase climate observatories and monitor the weather even in villages. The Indian governme has announced that it will use artificial ielligence in traditional weather forecasting models.
One of the researchers of this technology said that an artificial ielligence model does not need to be expensive and can even be run with a good quality desktop computer. Of course, experts say that better data is needed to make the most of artificial ielligence.
The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology says that without high-resolution data at differe times and environmes, no AI model can provide accurate predictions.
So far, various meteorological agencies around the world have focused on artificial ielligence, which can reduce costs and increase the speed of doing things. The British Met Office says this technology could revolutionize weather forecasting. Recely, Google was able to provide a very accurate forecast of the weather with DeepMind artificial ielligence.
