Abstract
India Meteorological department has added many data and research networks during the 135 years for climate-dependent sectors, such as agriculture, forestry, and hydrology, rendering a modern scientific background to atmospheric science in India. The inclusion of the latest data from satellites and other modern observation platforms, such as Automated Weather Stations (AWS), and ground-based remote-sensing techniques in recent years has strengthened India’s long-term strategy of building up a self-reliant climate data bank for specific requirements, and also to fulfill international commitments of data exchange for weather forecasting and allied research activities. It has augmented forecasting capabilities to meet the operational requirements of day to day seamless weather forecasts in various ranges.
