The Indian government will test artificial intelligence (AI) in creating climate models to forecast severe weather conditions, stated Cointelegraph.
With insights from Reuters, K.S. Hosalikar, head, climate research and services, India Meteorological Department (IMD), mentioned that he expects AI-based climate models and advisories to help improve forecasting. This is believed to be used for severe weather conditions like floods and droughts.
Sources revealed that Hosalikar also mentioned that AI is already in place to help create public alerts for extreme weather like heat waves and disease outbreaks like malaria. Also, IMD is expected to increase the number of weather observatories down to a village level with the goal of higher-resolution forecasting data, added Cointelegraph.
Furthermore, the government has already set up a center to test the idea of incorporating AI into traditional weather forecasting and plans for workshops and conferences, Cointelegraph concluded.
