Intelligent Post-Processing for Monsoon Rainfall Forecasts
ATMOS (Adaptive Targeted Monsoon Optimization System) learns regime-dependent errors in existing NWP rainfall forecasts and applies uncertainty-aware AI correction using atmospheric and geographical intelligence.

Why ATMOS?
Monsoon rainfall forecast errors vary across synoptic conditions. ATMOS dynamically tailors post-processing to prevailing regimes and local terrain.
REGIME-AWARE
Rainfall forecast errors can change significantly with monsoon synoptic conditions, requiring specialized AI experts.
UNCERTAINTY-AWARE
Continuous regime probabilities and Shannon entropy prevent rigid hard-switching between AI models.
LOCAL-AWARE
Terrain, elevation, slope aspect, and coastal distance refine precipitation field resolution locally to 0.05° (~5 km).
PROBABILISTIC
Heavy-rainfall exceedance probabilities complement deterministic forecasts for disaster decision support.
Four Monsoon Regime Classes
Distinct error distributions call for targeted AI post-processing strategies.
Large-scale monsoon activity, strong low-level cross-equatorial southwesterly jet, and enhanced rainfall along the monsoon trough.
Monsoon trough shifts north to Himalayan foothills. Marked suppression of rainfall across central and peninsular India.
Monsoon depression or cyclonic disturbance moving west-northwest from Bay of Bengal into Central India.
Atmospheric state undergoing transition between active and break phases with competing wave modes.
