- The prediction of monsoon is primarily the responsibility of Indian Meteorological Department. They have a multi parameter model for predicting the monsoon. The ocean temperature is one of the critical input for prediction. Today Data Buoy has been launched which will be placed in different points in the sea. This Buoy will measure parameters such as current, temperature, salinity etc. and provide it to a central station continuously. The important parameter affecting monsoon is the temperature. Availability of the pattern of temperature through these Buoys will be a good input for better prediction of the monsoon.
