تدوین یک چارچوب تازه برای پیش بینی بهتر تغییرات اقلیمی در هند.

PUNE: A new framework being developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, will help forecast the climate change better and provide scientific inputs for policy and decision making.

"The Earth System Modelling is a comprehensive and integrated framework being developed under the Ministry of Earth Sciences for climate variability prediction. It will be ready in three years. We have started collecting data on the ocean - atmosphere and other components will be added to it,'' said Prof B N Goswami, director of IITM.

Goswami was speaking on the sidelines of a national workshop on Advances in the Science of Climate Change and Indian monsoon,' organised by the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences and Centre for Climate Change Research, IITM, Pune.

"The idea is to have a global earth system modelling since climate change is a global phenomenon. Till recently there has been no such capacity available in the country for tackling the complex dimensions of the science of climate change.''

Shailesh Nayak, secretary of Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), said that IITM will start a training course Advanced Training School in Earth System and Climate Science' in collaboration with the University of Pune. "The idea is to attract young people with a science and engineering background. The first batch will comprise 15 research students and it will start in the next academic year,'' he said.

"Stations will be set up in Arabian Sea, Goa, Bay of Bengal and Vishakapatnam to study the biogeochemical parameters and understand the climate change impact on oceans. The approval has come from the Ministry of Earth Sciences and the work will start in January next year," Goswami said.
