IIT Roorkee researchers have launched INDRA-CMIP6, a high-resolution climate projection dataset designed to improve India’s disaster preparedness and climate adaptation planning. The open-access dataset offers detailed rainfall and temperature projections to support policymakers, researchers, and regional planners dealing with climate risks and extreme weather events.
New Delhi, May 15: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee on Friday developed and released an open-access high-resolution climate projection dataset, named INDRA-CMIP6, aimed at helping India improve regional climate adaptation, disaster preparedness, and climate risk assessment.
Developed by researchers from the Department of Hydrology at IIT Roorkee and published in the journal Nature Portfolio’s , the dataset provides daily rainfall and temperature projections for the Indian subcontinent at a spatial resolution of nearly 10 kilometres.
The initiative seeks to address a major challenge associated with global climate models, whose coarse-scale projections often fail to accurately represent India’s complex terrain, monsoon systems, and regional weather extremes.
