What is Weather Forecasting ?

By -

Over the last 20 years, 3 day forecasts are better than, one day forecast delivered 20 years ago. “Numerical forecasting”, mathematical equations to predict weather forecasting require powerful computers and lots of observable data collected from land, sea, and air. Thousands of (more than 01 million) weather stations are located across the globe for data pooling. Instruments like ground-based wind gauges (anemometers), rain collectors, and temperature sensors are used by amateur weather watchers.

Complex mathematical models to predict, new based on incoming data, weather conditions might change over time. Large-scale phenomena, each are governed by multiple factors considering external and internal factors of the solar system, observing sun temperature and other radiations, earth temperature, pressure difference, will form clouds and winds, change in phase of ice-water-gas which will affect the flow of energy.

The National Centres for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), objective is to provide weather, water, and climate data, forecasts, warnings, and impact-based decision support services for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy. This is one of the common objectives of all different country weather forecasting centres globally.

Weather Satellites, weather balloons, powerful photographs, and Observatories located across the globe monitor the earth and surroundings conditions by each nation.

MIT Metrologist, Edward Loren2, Butterfly effect, is the father of “Chaos Theory”, a set of scientific principles describing highly complex systems, such as weather systems where small changes in initial conditions radically change the final results. The limitation to “how accurate weather forecasts can be Lorenz set this limit at two weeks.

Modern technology, methodology, and techniques to “Ensemble forecast”, consist of several factors, each based on slightly different starting points. If the prediction in the ensemble looks the same then the weather is likely to balance if not misbehave.

“Doppler radar” to monitor weather conditions more effectively and improve forecasts. It requires a transmitter to emit radio waves into the sky. The waves strike atmospheric objects and bounce back. Radio waves hit the clouds and return in different kinds of reflected radio waves, converted into pictures showing the cloud's coverage and bands of precipitation, wind speeds, and direction.

The list of World Metrological Organisations are as follows:

Afghanistan - Afghanistan Meteorological Authority (AMA)

Albania - The Hydrometeorological Institute

Algeria - National Meteorological Office (MeteoAlgerie)

Andorra - Servei Meteorologic d'Andorra 

Angola - Instituto Nacional de Hidrometeorologia e Geofisica

Solar panels installed on the roof with a capacity of 11.5 MW in Punjab state in India India’s solar mission which has kept at a target of 175 GW and the government is trying to keep its word to generate power from all kinds of Renewable Energy Resources. As it is focused on Solar, Wind and Biomass power generation technologies. We all know that a roof is the zero cost of land and uses the space for solar panel installation. There is no requirement of a special setup is installing the solar roof. Depending upon the roof size and shading and direction of the sunlight is considered for setting up the solar panels. But, most of them have small or medium roofs that can generate in kiloWatts (kW) or Megawatt (MW) scale. In Amritsar, there is an installation od 11.5 MW capacity of a solar power plant which is completely covered with solar roof which will benefit 8000 households was built by Radha Saomi Satsang Beas (RSSB), a religious organization in Punjab.

In most of the western countries and developing countries are launching the new concept called the “ Recycling Malls ” in major cities and towns across their countries. The main objective of the recycle mart is to sell the used products (ex: used plastic, glass, paper, etc.). This is an innovative way of making things and helping in reducing environmental pollution in the surroundings across the globe.   There are different kinds of pollutions that are generated effecting Air, Water, Land, Food, Sea, Ocean pollutions. It is damaging the EARTH gradually and impacting directly and indirectly that are highly toxic and increase the scope of new harmful viruses etc.   Issue: Wastes are different types that are generated in the world which is mostly produced by man. Anything that is produced excess and unable to control is added into pollutant list. The recycling plants are getting adopted across the globe with different techniques, methodologies and Strategic ways in collection

Honda is one of the popular brands in the Indian automobile industry. with the Activa petrol scooter with multiple versions, the company is come up with an electric version which Indian consumers are awaiting for the same. Apart from their plans to launch the electric vehicle in the Indian market, some of the key points are strong enough for Honda can capture a great EV market share in the country. Kinetic Honda is the predecessor for Honda Activa which was a big hit in 90s.  Year wise Activa Models released by Honda:  2001,  2002,  2007,  2008,  2009,  2018,  2019,  2020,  2021 Some of the key advantages for Honda can be a great EV market giant compared with startups and OEMs due to the following: Charging facilities in service stations: As Honda has 334+ service stations [1] across various states in India, the majority of them are bigger compared to other two-wheeler service stations. So a large charging infrastructure network and facility can be developed which can provide easy ac

India is witnessing a new chapter in the growth of the renewable sector, mainly in the solar sector. Hence, any new breakthrough in the field of solar cells and solar power generation is beneficial for India. New technology is being developed in the University of Chicago within the confines of its chemistry laboratory by Professor “Luping Yu”. A new kind of solar panel was designed and manufactured which has a higher efficiency when compared with the currently running modules used for power generation. The given polymer solar cell consists of a new polymer, called "PID2". The new polymer improves the efficiency of electrical power generation by 15 per cent when added to a standard polymer-fullerene mixture. New light has been shed on solar power generation using devices made with polymers. Researchers identified a new polymer a type of large molecule that forms plastics and other familiar materials which improved the efficiency of solar cells. The group also determined th

The Indian government has kept a target of 175 GW installed capacity using different renewable energy technologies in the country. Currently, the total installed capacity of the country is 367.3 GW of which thermal is 230.72 GW , Nuclear is 6.78 GW , Hydro is 45.4 GW and RE is 84.4 GW as on 31.12.2019. For the month of December 2019 the electricity generated in different power segments is 86.1 BU in thermal, 3.6 BU in Nuclear, 8.9 BU in Hydro and 9.3 BU in RE [1] . Currently, the total renewable installed capacity is 57.472 GW ( 12.5 GW of solar i.e., 21.8% and 32.3 GW of wind i.e., 56.2% ).  Depending upon the current installation frequency, we can forecast whether we can reach the target by 2022 or 2030 . MNRE is exploring with new innovative approach for increasing the capacity of renewable energy in the country and promoting them for the same.
