The government will Monday unveil a new 'Bharat Forecasting System' that will enable the weather office to provide more accurate and localised predictions.

- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Developed by Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), the Bharat Forecasting System (BFS) will provide forecasts with a 6 km resolution the highest in the world that would allow forecasters to predict small-scale weather features more accurately.

"We will now be able to issue more localised and accurate weather forecasts," M Ravichandran, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences, told PTI.

The new forecasting model, developed by researchers including Parthasarathy Mukhopadhayay, was made possible due to installation of the new supercomputer Arka at the IITM campus last year with a capacity of 11.77 petaflops and storage capacity of 33 petabytes.
