An ongoing study by the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) to predict fog conditions at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) and to minimise air traffic congestion during the winter months has yielded favourable results.
The JNCASR team, which is conducting this study on atmospheric conditions in the vicinity of the airport, has been able to attain a success rate between 65% and 69%.
Prof. K.R. Sreenivas, who is heading the study, said that his team of scientists have been able to identify certain indicators which causes fog and are able to predict whether there would be fog in the vicinity of the airport.
