The global IT giant IBM plans to make a high-resolution weather forecast model. It will also rely on user-generated data to improve the accuracy of forecasts available in India.
IBM GRAF can generate forecasts at a resolution of 3 kilometres. This is a significantly higher resolution than the 12-kilometre models used by the India Meteorological Department to generate forecasts.
Weather forecasts will be available to individuals for free download and can be used by farmers.
IBM GRAF stands for IBM Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System.
