International technology company IBM plans to make IBM GRAF available in India so as to improve the accuracy of forecasts.
About:
IBM Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System (IBM GRAF) is a high-precision, rapidly updating global weather model that updates hourly and at a 3km resolution to provide a clearer picture of weather activity around the globe.
IBM GRAF can generate forecasts at a resolution of 3 kilometres. This is a significantly higher resolution than the 12-kilometre models used by the India Meteorological Department to generate forecasts.
For its forecasts, IBM relies on a global network of sensors — automatic weather station, data bouys and barometric pressure data from cellphones of users who’ve downloaded the application.
Weather forecasts will be available to individuals for free download and can be used by farmers.
