Indian Institute Of Tropical Meteorology

A new study conducted by the Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology suggests that COVID-19 virus piggybacks only black carbon emitted during biomass burning and not all PM2.5 particles.

The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune has started recruitment process for Research Associates and Fellows.

Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan today said Indian scientists along with their counterparts from the US and Finland have developed a mechanism that will soon be able to forewarn depletion in air quality. The Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune, the India Meteorological Department and the meteorology centre in Noida will work together...

Annual mean, minimum and maximum temperatures in India have shown a "significant" increasing trend since 1981, a report by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology said.

A global study released this week that estimated 11 lakh Indians died due to air pollution in 2015 has been rejected by the government, with Environment Minister Anil Madhav Dave insisting that he did not "trust sensational reports" and pollution wasn't a killer. But Science and Technology Minister Harsh Vardhan contradicted him, saying pollution w...

Rain extremities may increase in the coming years in Hyderabad, a city that, as of now, does not seem to be fully prepared to deal with such scenarios, environmental scientists have warned.

Surface ozone pollution in Delhi has crossed the permissible limit, for the second time in a year, with experts blaming weak monsoon for the phenomenon.

In a different approach for rainfall forecast, scientists of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) have used variations in sea temperatures to predict monsoon in the subcontinent.

The monsoon system as a whole is weakening in India, and could lead to more drought-like situations in the long run, says a new study. This comes after the Indian Meteorological Department's forecast of another dry spell in this year's monsoon, just like last year.

Rapid warming of the Indian Ocean in the past century has led to a significant decrease in summer monsoon rainfall over the central-east and northern regions of India, a new study led by an Indian scientist said today.

With increasing temperature, the toxic ozone levels, which cause a number of health problems especially for asthmatics, have breached the permissible limits in the city, the Indian Meteorological Department (MET) said today.

The South West Monsoon, which hit Kerala on Friday after a delay of four days, will remain "sluggish" and may proceed to central Indian only after June 25, the MET department said.

India on Wednesday launched the air quality monitoring system for the Commonwealth Games. The system will provide real time pollution data at 11 key locations in the city during the mega-event.
