The High-Performance Computing systems, Arka and Arunika, have been specifically designed to enhance India's computational capabilities for reliable weather forecasting, particularly for extreme climate events. With an investment of ₹850 crores, these systems will be located at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune and the National Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting in Noida, significantly improving India's weather forecasting capabilities. This initiative aims to provide better preparedness and response to challenges posed by climate variability and extreme weather events.
