IMD was the first organisation in India to deploy a message switching computer for supporting its global data exchange. IMD collaborates with other agencies such as the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting and the National Institute of Ocean Technology.
He made immense contribution towards improving the skill of weather forecast, particularly the extreme weather events like cyclones, extreme temperatures, heavy precipitation etc. leading to enhance the use and impact of meteorological information in various sectors of economic activities and in saving lives and properties. His role in ...
Under the Köppen climate classification the greater part of Rajasthan falls under Hot Desert (BWh) and remaining portions of the state falls under Hot Semi Arid (BSh); the climate of the state ranges from arid to semi-arid. Rajasthan receives low and variable rainfalls and thereby is prone to droughts. As Rajasthan is the dry and hot state ...
The next day, the IMD noted that a low-pressure area had formed adjacent to the cyclonic circulation. [5] Late on 23 May, the IMD upgraded the system into a well-marked low, stating that it was rapidly coalescing. [6] The next day, the IMD stated that the depression formed in the Bay of Bengal, designating it as BOB 01. [7]
As proposed in the third five-year plan [2] of India, the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) was founded as the Institute of Tropical Meteorology on 17 November 1962 at Pune as an individual unit of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the main organization responsible for meteorological observations, weather forecasts, and detecting earthquakes in India.
In 2003, IMD substantially changed its forecast methodology, model, [43] and administration. [44] A sixteen-parameter monsoon forecasting model used since 1988 was replaced in 2003. [ 43 ] However, following the 2009 drought in India (worst since 1972), [ 45 ] The department decided in 2010 that it needed to develop an "indigenous model" [ 46 ...
The Ministry of Earth Sciences was formed on 29 January 2006 from a merger of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), [2] the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), [3] the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune (IITM), [4] the Earth Risk Evaluation Centre (EREC) and the Ministry of Ocean Development.
During the Triassic period of 251–199.6 Ma, the Indian subcontinent was the part of a vast supercontinent known as Pangaea.Despite its position within a high-latitude belt at 55–75° S—latitudes now occupied by parts of the Antarctic Peninsula, as opposed to India's current position between 8 and 37° N—India likely experienced a humid temperate climate with warm and frost-free weather ...
