IIT Bhubaneswar developed a hybrid weather forecasting tech using WRF and deep learning, improving accuracy in flood-prone regions.

IIT Bhubaneswar developed a hybrid technology that combines the WRF model with deep learning for weather forecasting, specifically focusing on heavy rainfall events. Tested in flood-prone Assam and Odisha, the model demonstrated a doubled prediction accuracy compared to traditional models, with a lead time up to 96 hours. This technology could significantly improve disaster mitigation and public safety across India's complex terrains.
