Niruthi Climate and Ecosystems

Founded by Dr. Ramakrishna Nemani, a retired NASA scientist with over thirty-five years of experience in remote sensing, numerical bio-geochemical modelling, agronomy and climatology, Niruthi employs a state-of-the-art data-model assimilation approach based on the Terrestrial Observation and Prediction System (TOPS) designed to seamlessly integrate fine scale data from satellites, weather stations, mobiles into sophisticated simulation models empowered by Big Data (BD) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The resulting ecosystem nowcasts and forecasts are used to design custom solutions for Crop Insurance, Crop Yield Estimation, Irrigation Management, Carbon Credits, Pest/Disease Dynamics, Disaster Management and Public Health.
