Q. Consider the following statements about the Bharat Forecast System:
1.It is India’s first indigenously developed weather model.
2.It has been developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune.
3.It is an ensemble model that provides multiple forecast outputs.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Explanation:
The Bharat Forecast System is India’s first indigenously developed weather model, created by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. It is a deterministic model, meaning it provides a single forecast output based on one model simulation. This is different from ensemble models, which generate multiple outputs based on several simulations to capture forecast uncertainty. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
