Paper: GS – III, Subject: Science and Technology, Topic: Space Technology, Issue: Bharat Forecast System.

Context:

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has recently adopted the Bharat Forecast System (BFS), a significant advancement in meteorological forecasting that aims to enhance the accuracy of rain predictions down to the panchayat level.

Key Takeaways:

The Bharat Forecast System:

  • The Bharat Forecast System (BFS) represents a major leap in weather forecasting capabilities in India.
  • Developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and tested since 2002, the BFS promises to deliver more precise and localized rain forecasts.
  • According to M. Ravichandran, Secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences, the BFS has demonstrated notable improvements in providing advance warnings for heavy rainfall events.
  • It 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.
  • This resolution is advanced in comparison to the previous 12-km Global Forecast System (GFS) used in India so far.
