IIT-M developing technology to combine weather models with satellite to predict cyclones
Q. Which researchers have developed a technique which has been fed into high quality data satellites associated with supercomputers?- Published on 30 Nov 15a. IIT-B
b. IIT-Kharagpur
c. IIT-M
d. None of the above
ANSWER: IIT-M
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology-Madras developed a technique depending on “data assimilation” method depending upon high quality data being processed from satellites on supercomputers. IMD meteorologists have followed a synoptic method for cyclone prediction where weather observations are taken from ships or on the ground and in the upper atmosphere with the aid of sensors attached to balloons.
