 "TERI Acquires Wipro Supercomputer To Enhance Climate Modelling")
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) as a premier institute working on climate change issues has acquired the latest state-of-the-art supercomputer from Wipro, to address the gaps and develop a better understanding of climate variability and climate change at different spatial and temporal scales.
Climate change has emerged as a global challenge to sustainable development and world wide climate scientists are focused on constantly improving the understanding of the climate dynamics and associated impacts. Indian is significantly vulnerable to climate change and there is still a significant lack of institutional capacity in the country for generating the right kind of strategic knowledge that can help policy makers in informed decision making to deal with climate change.
TERI has been consciously endeavouring to upscale its institutional capabilities for climate change projections, both at global and regional scales, and to assess climate impacts on important sectors like agriculture, water resources and health. With the acquisition of Wipro’s supercomputer, TERI will not only become a centre of excellence on climate modelling in the Indian subcontinent but also a hub for regional and global data, training, and capacity building.
“Climate modelling at TERI envisions addressing key environmental challenges from global to local levels, by providing plausible scientific knowledge on climate change issues with the help of next generation climate models. Wipro’s supercomputer will help in fine-tuning the complexities attached in predicting the climate patterns so that they can be used for climate change projections and regional impact assessment studies,” said Dr R. K Pachauri, Director General TERI.
“A successful development policy can be formulated only if the uncertainties in climate impact assessments can be minimised, or at least quantified. I am happy that TERI has acquired Wipro’s supercomputer to perform the new generation Earth’s climate system simulations,” said Azim Premji, Chairman, Wipro Limited.
