India to build AI climate models for severe weather forecasting
The Indian Meteorological Department plans to implement AI models to help improve forecasting, particularly for severe weather conditions like floods and droughts.
The Indian government is testing artificial intelligence (AI) in creating climate models to forecast severe weather conditions, according to a top local weather official.
In a report from Reuters, K.S. Hosalikar, the head of climate research and services at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), said he expects AI-based climate models and advisories to help improve forecasting, particularly for severe weather conditions like floods and droughts.
Currently, the IMD uses forecasting methods from mathematical models and supercomputers. It said an AI incorporation could potentially generate higher-quality and less expensive weather data.
