♦ ACROSS stands for Atmospheric and Climate Research-Modelling Observing Systems and Services
♦ The ACROSS scheme applies to the atmospheric science program of the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES).
♦ It covers different aspects of weather and climate services, including warnings for cyclones, storm surges, heatwaves, thunderstorms, etc.
♦ The ACROSS scheme consists of 9 sub-programs, which are multidisciplinary and multi-institutional in nature and will be implemented in an integrated manner.
♦ The goal of the ACROSS program is to provide reliable weather and climate forecasts for the development of society. Therefore, the scheme aims to improve weather and climate forecasting skills through continuous observation and intensive Research and Development activities.
♦ The scheme improves weather, climate and ocean forecasts and services, thereby ensuring that the corresponding benefits are transferred to various services.
