AI Algorithm Used to Improve Predictability of Indian Summer Monsoons: How it Works
An AI algorithm developed by the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST), Guwahati, is capable of increasing predictability of the Indian Summer Monsoons (ISMR) 18 months before the season begins. The technology uses AI to understand the relationship between ISMR and tropical thermocline patterns from 150 years of simulations....
