SUMMARY:A session on "What makes the weather predictable; and unpredictable?"
DESCRIPTION:About the event: Accurately predicting weather is a complex task due to the
many factors that influence weather patterns, including atmospheric pressu
re, temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation. Small changes in any of
these variables can lead to significant changes in weather conditions, mak
ing it challenging to predict with absolute certainty. Due to the large deg
rees of freedom involved, there is a limit of the deterministic predictabil
ity of weather. In this talk we will discuss some modeling techniques devel
oped to resolve some of these difficulties, as well as the importance of sa
tellite data in obtaining improved weather prediction. About speaker: Dr. P
radip Pal is a former Deputy Director at the Space Applications Centre - IS
RO. He did his PhD at the People's Friendship University in Moscow and join
ed SAC thereafter. Dr. Pal's research expertise is in Numerical Weather Pre
diction (NWP) and he was instrumental in developing and enhancing NWP capab
ilities at ISRO over the course of his 30-year career at ISRO.
