  • Introduction


    The subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction, which corresponds to predictions beyond two weeks but less than a season, fills this gap between weather and climate forecasting. It has immense social-economic benefits for hazard prevention and risk management as well as economic planning. Considering the recent changes happening in the spatial and temporal characteristics of weather and climate systems, the importance of S2S prediction has multiplied manifold. 

    The physical basis for S2S prediction is primarily rooted in the intrinsic predictability of large-scale circulation associated with the tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) in the form of Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations (MISOs) and Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). The evolution of El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), soil moisture, snow cover and sea ice, stratosphere-troposphere interactions, ocean conditions and tropical-extratropical teleconnections also influences the S2S predictability.

    The South Asia region experiences various hydro-meteorological hazards including cyclones, depressions, heavy rainfall, floods, droughts, heat and cold waves. The forecast and early warning on the S2S time scale is the key to the management of these hazards. The presence and influence of tropical ISOs play an important role in the S2S predictability over South Asia.  

    Over the region, the S2S prediction activities are led by various meteorological research organisations and operational centres. The research centres focus on developing competent S2S prediction systems and tools for applying them for societal benefit. Operational centres implement the prediction systems developed at research organisations and disseminate the forecasts to the end-users for societal applications.

5. Seventh WMO International Workshop on Monsoons (IWM-7), 23-26 March 2022, New Delhi, India

The International Workshop on Monsoons (IWM) is a major quadrennial symposia/workshops series under the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The seventh workshop in this series, the IWM-7, is being organized at New Delhi, India, jointly by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India, and the WWRP Working Group on Tropical Meteorology Research (WGTMR), in cooperation with the CLIVAR/GEWEX Monsoons Panel of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the International Monsoons Project Office (IMPO) hosted by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM). The workshop is scheduled to be held during 23-26 March 2022.

The IWM provides a forum for researchers and forecasters to discuss recent advances and current issues involving monsoons as key features of earth-system phenomena covering weather-to-climate time scales affecting large populations around the world.

  • Institutions/Projects in the region working on S2S

    1. National Monsoon Mission

    Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India has launched the 'National Monsoon Mission' (NMM) with a vision to develop a state-of-the-art dynamical prediction system for monsoon rainfall on different time scales. MoES has bestowed the responsibility of execution and coordination of this mission to the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. For this national mission, IITM is collaborating with NCEP (USA), MoES organisations and various academic institutions/organizations under NMM. Climate Forecast System (CFS) of NCEP, USA has been identified as the basic modelling system for the above purpose, as it is one of the best among the currently available coupled models.

    2. Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India

    Under the National Monsoon Mission (NMM) Project of the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) started extended range prediction efforts in 2011 by adopting the Climate Forecast System (CFS) from the National Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), USA. An ensemble prediction system (EPS) has been developed for the ERP by using an indigenous perturbation technique, which was later developed into a multi-model EPS.

    The extended range prediction products for research/scientific use that are generated from the multi-model ensemble prediction system (MMEPS) developed indigenously by IITM are updated every Thursday at https://www.tropmet.res.in/erpas/index.php

    3. International Monsoons Project Office (IMPO)

    A new agreement was signed in July 2021 between the Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Director of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), with the kind approval of the Hon’ble  Minister of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India, to host an International Monsoons Project Office (IMPO) at IITM, to support monsoon research activities of the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) and the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). This is a joint effort by WMO and IITM to help coordinate monsoon research across the world.

    One of the core responsibilities of IMPO is to support the acitivites of the Monsoons Panel, jointly established by CLIVAR and GEWEX core projects of the WCRP. IMPO also supports the monsoon relevant activities of the World Weather Research Programme (WWRP)'s Working Group on Tropical Meteorology Research (WGTMR). IMPO promotes cross-panel linkages within the working structures of the WWRP as well as WCRP, on monsoon-related matters.

    IMPO is hosted within the IITM campus at Pune, India, and operates under the overall supervision of the Director of IITM.

    More details on IMPO can be found at https://impo.tropmet.res.in/aboutus.html
