(Reuters) - Chances of the emergence of the El Nino weather pattern have increased to 65 percent during the fall and 70 percent during winter 2018-19, a U.S. government weather forecaster said on Thursday. The last El Niño, a pattern that brings a warming of ocean surface temperatures in the …
Monsoon withdrawal delayed over Central India Climate change, particularly the increase in temperatures, over the last decade has impact on the monsoon with increased rains over Central India, Elena Surovyatkina, a scientist with Postdam Institute for Climate Impact Research of Germany, said here on Tuesday. At a workshop on ‘Monsoon …
The fact is that the storms of this year hold a mirror to our future Over 50 storms in 16 states of India have killed more than 500 people and destroyed acres of crops in two months — April to May this year. This is not normal. Or is this …
This paper presents an example of usage of Ensemble Weather Forecast for the control of Satellite-based Communication Systems. Satellite communication systems become increasingly sensitive to weather conditions as their operating frequency is increasing to avoid electromagnetic spectrum congestion and enhance their capacity. In the microwave domain, electromagnetic waves that are …
A normal monsoon will not only aid agriculture growth but also have a positive impact on the overall rural economy, crucial for the BJP govt as it faces key state elections and general polls in 2019 The southwest monsoon, the lifeline for millions of farmers across India, is expected to …
Srinagar: The worrisome weather patterns prevalent in Kashmir Valley are making the absence of a comprehensive environmental policy felt. Kashmir has received scant precipitation in the last eight months, resulting in a drought-like scenario. Consequently, the farmers have been advised to sow crops that need less water. Srinagar centre of …
This study details the capabilities of the IITM Earth System Model version 2 (IITM‐ESMv2), developed at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India, for investigating long‐term climate variability and change with special focus on the South Asian monsoon. Original Source
NEW DELHI: Most parts of north India can expect a searing hot summer this year with average mean temperatures remaining more than a degree above normal, the India Meteorological Department said in its countrywide hot weather outlook for April, May and June on Sunday. While north India is likely to …
Ocean‐Waves‐Atmosphere (OWA) exchanges are not well represented in current Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) systems, which can lead to large uncertainties in tropical cyclone track and intensity forecasts. In order to explore and better understand the impact of OWA interactions on tropical cyclone modeling, a fully coupled OWA system based on …
Coupled models tend to underestimate Indian summer monsoon (ISM) rainfall over most of the Indian subcontinent. Present study demonstrates that a part of dry bias is arising from the discrepancies in Oceanic Initial Conditions (OICs). Two hindcast experiments are carried out using Climate Forecast System (CFSv2) for summer monsoons of …
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, temperatures are expected to rise between 2.5 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. This warming is expected to contribute to rising sea levels and the melting of glaciers and permafrost, as well as other climate-related effects. Now, research from the …
Impact-based forecasting and warning services aim to bridge the gap between producers and users of warning information by connecting and increasing synergies between the components of effective early warning systems. We tested qualitatively whether a warning message based on colour codes is understandable and useful to trigger risk mitigation actions …
West Africa is a very vulnerable part of the world to the impacts of climate change due to a combination of exposure and low adaptive capacity. Climate change has induced an increase in rainfall variability which in turn has affected the availability of water resources, ecosystem services and agricultural production. …
Local solutions can help beat climate change, a veteran farmer has proposed. Kenny Matampash, a crop and livestock farmer and an agricultural solutions expert in Kajiado County says African Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) are crucial to addressing effects climate change in Kenya. Matampash says his knowledge in irrigation has helped …
A new study identifies a method for predicting the likelihood of damaging hailstorms in the United States—up to three weeks in advance. Hail is the most economically destructive hazard posed by severe thunderstorms, producing on average billions of dollars in U.S. losses each year, including damage to roofs, homes and …
In this paper, satellite-based precipitation, clouds with infrared (IR) brightness temperature (BT), and tropical cyclone (TC) data from 2000 to 2015 are used to explore the relationship between precipitation, convective cloud, and TC intensity change in the Western North Pacific Ocean. An IR BT of 208 K was chosen as …
NEW DELHI: The mercury again fell to 4.2 degrees Celsius on Tuesday — three notches below normal. This was the capital's joint coldest day of the season. Experts said the mercury is likely to continue to stay low in the next few days with the minimum hovering around 4-6 degrees …
NEW DELHI: It was another cold morning in the capital on Monday with mercury recorded at 5 degrees Celsius — two notches below average for the season. Delhi's air quality, however, continues to improve and was recorded in the 'poor' category with an overall Air Quality Index (AQI) of 289 …
ALLAHABAD: On the second day in continuation, Allahabad received ample sunshine all day through but the bright sunshine was ineffective against the prevailing 'galan' (cold breeze). With sunshine being of no use to the denizens, the weather remained same as was on Wednesday. Despite the fact that the city received …
Weather plays an important role in agricultural production. It plays a major role before and during the cropping season and if the same is provided well in advance, it results in inspiring the farmers to organize and activate their own resources in the best possible way to increase the crop …
