The mission aims to strengthen India’s position as a global leader in weather and climate science, research, and services. It will focus on enhancing the capabilities of the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) and other relevant institutions. Here’s a breakdown of the ‘Mission Mausam’:
The mission will focus on understanding the complex interplay of various factors that contribute to the variability of monsoon rainfall. This includes analyzing the role of atmospheric circulation patterns, ocean currents, and land surface processes in shaping the monsoon. Mission Mausam will also address the challenges of climate change and its impact on the monsoon. It will investigate the potential consequences of climate change on monsoon rainfall patterns, including changes in intensity, frequency, and duration.
