National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF)

NCMRWF is situated in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India.

NCMRWF's main goal is to develop and implement numerical weather prediction models for medium-range weather forecasting.

NCMRWF focuses on medium-range weather forecasting, typically ranging from 4 to 10 days. Short-range forecasting is generally handled by other meteorological agencies.

GRAPES (Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System) is NCMRWF's advanced weather forecasting model.

NCMRWF receives funding and support from the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India.

NCMRWF was established in the year 1988.

NCMRWF's supercomputer is named Pratyush.

NCMRWF primarily focuses on forecasting meteorological parameters such as temperature, precipitation, and wind speed. Solar radiation is not typically included in their forecasts.

NCMRWF's weather forecasts have a spatial resolution of 12 kilometers.

NCMRWF updates its weather forecasts every 6 hours.

NCMRWF's weather forecasts are used by a wide range of users, including farmers, aviation industry, disaster management agencies, and the general public.

NCMRWF's mobile app for weather forecasting is called NCMRWF Weather.

NCMRWF's services primarily focus on weather forecasting and climate monitoring. Air quality forecasting is typically handled by other environmental agencies.

NCMRWF's training and education center is called NCMRWF Academy.

NCMRWF's research primarily focuses on weather forecasting, climate modeling, and ocean-atmosphere interaction. Space weather forecasting is typically handled by space agencies.
