Seasonal prediction of the Indian monsoon - A paper from Current Science

This paper published in Current Science presents the results of the national project on ‘Seasonal Prediction of the Indian Monsoon’ (SPIM), which involved a comparison of the skill of the atmospheric models used in the country for prediction of the summer monsoon, in simulation of the year-to-year variation of the summer monsoon rainfall over the Indian region for 1985–2004.

Seasonal prediction of the Indian monsoon – An assessment using atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) - An article from Current Science

This article in Current Science presents the outcome of the project ‘Seasonal Prediction of the Indian Monsoon’ (SPIM), in which the prediction of Indian summer monsoon rainfall by five atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) during 1985–2004 was done. The project was a collaborative effort of the coordinators and scientists from the different modelling groups across the country. All the runs were made at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) at Bangalore on the PARAM Padma supercomputing system.

Prediction of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall using a state-of-the-art coupled ocean–atmosphere model - An article from Current Science

This article in Current Science by Janakiraman et al deals with the prediction of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall using a state-of-the-art coupled ocean–atmosphere model. A model of the coupled ocean–atmosphere system, the climate forecast system (CFS), from the National Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), USA, has been ported onto the PARAM Padma parallel computing system at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), Bangalore and retrospective predictions for the summer monsoon (June–September) season of 2009 have been generated, using five initial conditions for the atmosphere and one initial condition for the ocean for May 2009.
