National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) is a national agency of the Government of India. It is a premier institute in India to provide Medium Range Weather Forecasts through deterministic Methods and to offer Agro-Advisory Service (AAS) to the farmers. NCMRWF offers challenging research opportunities in Numerical Weather Prediction, Diagnostic Studies, Crop Weather Modeling and Computer Science.
[edit] Mission
- To provide accurate, quantitative location specific medium range weather forecasts and agro-meteorological advisories to farmers.
- Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) guidance to partners/user agencies.
- Customized forecast products for other applications.
[edit] Vision
- To become the first preferred choice for NWP guidance over Indian Monsoon Region and global Tropics for all Weather and its applications related requirements on medium/extended/seasonal ranges.
- To develop an "Earth Weather/Climate Modeling and Assimilation System" especially for Monsoon System, consisting of global & regional atmosphere-land-ocean modules.
- To develop newer applications and reach out to society at large to maximize benefits from the products offered.
- This shall be achieved by constantly striving to improve accuracy, consistency and range of our global and regional NWP products through emphasis on focused R&D, regular technology upgradation, human resource development, networking and partnership with major global weather and climate prediction/diagnostic centres of the world, research laboratories and academia both within the country and abroad
