Objectives of Monsoon Mission Phase - III

1. Development of Next Generation seamless prediction system for short, medium, extended and long-range predictions including improved assimilation systems with improved lead times (Short range: 7 days lead time for extremes; Extended range beyond 2 weeks, long range: Season ahead for sub-divisions) for better decision making in applications in the various climate sensitive sectors.
2. Development of climate applications in Agriculture, hydrology, energy and Health sectors
3. Use of AI/ML and Physics Guided Data Mining in improving forecasts at shorter spatial scales and long leads including development of better parametrization.
4. Promote research relevant to the above objectives through academic and other research organizations.
5. Support ICMPO in present form and IMPO in future.
6. Establish a met-hub at IITM to promote Indian start-ups in weather/climate data/forecasts services.
7. To support regional climate services activities for south Asia.
