One of the Automatic Weather Stations at Mindspace REIT in Airoli
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay and Mindspace REIT have joined forces for a research initiative focused on climate risk assessment. As a pilot project under this research collaboration, two on-site weather stations have been established at Mindspace’s Airoli campus, which will facilitate the institute to study, monitor and analyse pertinent climate variables.
These weather stations are Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices that will offer real-time readings and environmental parameters. The gathered data will help predict physical risks associated with extreme weather events, including rising sea levels, shifting humidity levels, changes in wind speed, and temperature fluctuations. Researchers claim that the outcomes will also facilitate the design of buildings resilient to strong climate changes, an outcome of global warming.
