Mission Mausam aims to enhance localised weather forecasting through advanced research, cloud labs, and data gathering tools
The mission will create artificial cloud chambers to study cloud seeding, aiming to induce or prevent rain through controlled experiments
Initial funding of Rs 2,000 crore will support cloud chambers, radars, AI tools, and supercomputers to improve weather prediction accuracy
Weather systems are chaotic, where minor changes lead to major differences. AI and quantum computing offer promising advances in modelling
More radars, radiosondes, and satellite systems will provide vital data to refine weather models and predictions, despite high costs
Accurate weather forecasting aids disaster management and climate-change mitigation. Mission Mausam's expansion is crucial for future readiness
