Climatological Services
The observational data recorded at various types of surface and upper air
observatories, are scrutinised and archived at the Meteorological Centre Jaipur for state
of Rajasthan. The archives form the basis for computation of means, normals,
frequencies and other derived parameters, for their analysis and interpretation, and for
the preparation of district and state climate summaries and atlases. The statistics thus
compiled are periodically revised and updated.
Different types of climatological data are supplied by the Meteorological Center
Jaipur for Rajasthan and other offices of IMD in response to a large number of enquiries
and requests received from Central and State Governments, universities, research
institutes, public undertakings, private enterprises and individuals. The information
supplied is used for a variety of applications such as laying of runways at airports, town
planning, tourism, mountaineering, air-conditioning, location of industries, port
installations, design of high towers, bridges and telecommunication structures,
operation of multipurpose hydel projects, water and power management, location of
projects for the exploitation of non-conventional energy sources. .
