Al/ML based prediction of Thunderstorm and Gale force wind over an airfield.

Al/ML can be effectively employed to analyse and interpret the dynamics of Thunder Storm & predict the Thunder Storm and the Gale force wind over an airfield. Forecasting and nowcasting of Thunderstorm is one of the most challenging task. Nowcasting associated with the Gale force wind mostly associated with Thunderstorm has been always a daunting task.

Innovation:

A prototype Al/ML based module to be developed using data of 4-5 airfields over different regions of the country as model stations, thereby enabling coverage of entire expanse of the country. Availability of airfield data in terms of actual weather observations, statistical data (Aviation Weather Summary). LDS data, satellite Images and inputs from available DWR can be utilised for the innovation.

Deliverables:

GUI based interactive Al/ML module to predict Thunderstorm and associated Gale force wind during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons at 4-5 Airfield/ specified location 03-06 hours in advance.

Future Expectation from Prototype/technology developed

1. Al/ML module developed is expected to predict Thunderstorm and associated gale force winds 03- 06 hours in advance by ingesting real time observational data.
2. On successful development and attaining desired capability similar module can be developed for all the airfield or locations for which past data is available.
