• Learn how AI models predict potential cyclonic systems and their impact on Eastern India.

Role of AI in Cyclone Prediction

Advanced AI models, such as Google DeepMind's WNV3 ensemble forecasts, are increasingly being used to predict cyclonic activity. These models analyse various atmospheric parameters, including upper-level winds and jet streaks, to forecast the potential formation and intensity of cyclones. For instance, light easterly upper-level winds combined with a jet streak to the north can aid outflow, creating an environment conducive to strong cyclonic systems. Such predictions are crucial for early warnings and preparedness in cyclone-prone areas.
