Detailed explanation-1: -India is currently planning to launch 18 new petaFLOP supercomputers for weather forecasting this year. The deployment of powerful supercomputers enables meteorologists to make more accurate predictions, leading to enhanced disaster preparedness and better understanding of climate patterns.
Detailed explanation-2: -NWS super computers hold numerical modeling data for weather forecasting models. These computers make use of virtually all observational data that the NWS collects. This data comes from satellites, weather balloons, buoys, radar, and more.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prathyush and Mihir are the supercomputers established at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune and National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast (NCMRWF), Noida respectively.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each supercomputer operates at a speed of 12.1 petaflops, three times faster than NOAA’s former system.
