NEW DELHI: (May 26) India on Monday unveiled a home-grown weather forecasting system with a spatial resolution of six km — the highest in the world — that would enable the weather office to issue more localised and accurate forecasts.
Developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), the Bharat Forecasting System (BFS) will be operational from this monsoon season and place India among the global leaders in weather prediction, Earth Sciences Minister Jitendra Singh said.
The BFS will be the only global numerical weather prediction system in the world deployed at such a high resolution, representing a major advancement in India’s forecasting capabilities.
