In 2015, the Winter Fog Experiment (WIFEX) launched at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), New Delhi has completed a milestone of ten years of dedicated research in dense winter fog of North India and its impact on daily life and aviation safety. “Important objectives for generating high quality observation data and developing a reliable resolution fog prediction model. In the next stage, wife Ax -2 will be expanded at other major airports in North India,” Dr. M Ravichandran, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Secretary, Goi said on Tuesday.
Dr. Other officials along with Ravichandran visited Wife and System for Air Quality and Forecast Research (SAFAR) Control Room in Indian
Tropical Institute of Meteorological (IITM) on Tuesday.
A state -of -the -art atmospheric chemistry laboratory and an early career website for Earth’s Hub
Science was also launched.
Dr. Ravichandran later spoke to media individuals that accurate forecasts about accurate forecasts under the wife have provided significant operating benefits to airlines, including cuts in flight variations and cancellations.
“Based on this success, the wife is not making any progress for her next stage wife- II and these abilities should be extended to major airports in North India.
Advanced equipment can better predict localized fog events on the runway of the airport, ”he said.

With the support of the Indian Institute of Indian Tropical Meteorological (IITM) under the Indian Ministry of Meteorological (MOE), India with the support of meteorology.
The Department (IMD) and the National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), WIFEX is one of the long-term open area experiments of the world that focuses completely fog-one elusive winter threat which regularly disrupts air, rail and road transport in the India-Gangetic field.
What started in IGIA-India’s most busy and most fog has developed into a strong observation network that is now reaching Jewish Airport, Noida, and Hisar, Haryana, which covers major aviation corridors in North India. In the last decade, the wife’s scientists have deployed the temperature layers, humidity, air, disturbance, soil heat, and upgraded equipment to collect detailed data on aerosol, deployed micrometer -ology towers, roofs, and high frequency sensors-one manufactures a unmatched dataset that reveals the dens fog form and dispenser.

“These insights have operated the development of a high-resolution (3 km) potential fog prediction model, which is no one among the most advanced equipment in the region for operating forecasting. This model can firmly predict Hen Fog, maybe how much time it will last, and when it is clear that it is very much,” Project Machakes and the journey explained, “Project Machax and the journey explained,” Project Machax and the journey explained.
Wifex is stepping into its next step-Wifex-II- Which will expand the predictions of localized, runway-specific fog for more airports in North India. By stopping dedicated sensors on additional sites, the operator of the airport will get real -time data to activate and ensure operations.
Safe and efficient – even in thick fog. “After countless hours of ten winters and fieldwork, the wife gave the example of the cap, focused, focused again
Can get search and cooperation. IITM said, “By connecting observation with models and models, ViceX proves that science can clear the path ahead,” said, “Dr. Suryachandra Rao, Director, IITM said.
“Y -FX -2 will be launched in Noida, Jaipur, Varanasi by this November and plans are going on to introduce the system in Guwahati,” Dr. The gust said. IITM scientists reported that for airlines, pilots, air traffic controllers and passengers, it means less expensive variations, low delays, safe runways, and challenging winter winter fog season more informed during the fog.
“We also need to reduce false alarms and wife -2 will help us address this relevant issue,” Dr. Good said.

Meanwhile, at further places, the Indian armed forces have expressed the need for the same fog solutions, IITMEXPERTS said. He said that refined equipment is available at IGI Airport in New Delhi, the accuracy of predictions at requested locations depends on the availability of local weather and cloud data.
On the satellite
Dr. M Ravichandran, responding to questions on the Nisar satellite – has been jointly determined by NASA and ISRO to develop and launched that they will soon be said that they would wait for data.
Nisar satellite will examine water bodies, forest loss and so on. He also said that he was cooperating with ISRO to request a new launch of a new new.
Satellite. -INSAT-3DS is a dedicated meteorological satellite launched by ISRO to increase weather forecasting and disaster warning capabilities.
According to the specialist, preparation work is going on as part of their infection in the fourth generation series. “On August 23, we will underline and prioritize our satellite data requirements for weather monitoring. Each area will be formally informed about these priorities and them.
Relevance, ”he said.
