SAFAR-Air

The SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research) is a project of Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India having distinction to develop India’s first ever Air Quality Forecasting system SAFAR for Metro cities. This is the 2nd version /Update of the MobileApp where based on the feedback and public demand, following new features are added:

(1) It has been made Multi-lingual. Languages are English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati –spoken in 4 SAFAR cities.

(2) An excellent feature of Voice service is added which can be listened by clicking the speaker button.

(3) The detailed advisory and precautions are added. To make it more attractive, an animated Flag boy is added who will change the color of flag based on the quality of air from Green to Maroon. The expression of boy will also change and Flag gets lifted up as Air Quality worsens.

Many of you raised an issue as to why this service is available in just 4 cities and not in other cities. I share your concern and deeply appreciate. However, expanding such services requires lot of financial resources and time. One SAFAR station requires minimum cost towards 10 AQMS, 10 AWS, super computer cost for forecast, emission inventory cost, outreach cost and so on. Depending on priority, projects are approved. We expect to expand it in future but not in near future as it stands.

该SAFAR（空气质量系统和气象预报和研究）是教育部地球科学，官立的项目。印度具有区分开发印度的首个空气质量预报系统SAFAR地铁的城市。这是一个MobileApp哪里根据反馈和公众的需求，以下新功能添加了第二版/更新：

（1）已经取得了多语言。语言是英语，印地文，马拉地语和古吉拉特语在4个SAFAR城市-spoken。

（2）语音服务被添加的一个极好的功能，其可以通过点击按钮扬声器被收听。

（3）详细咨询和预防措施加入。为了使其更具吸引力，动画标志男孩谁加入将改变标志的基于空气质量由绿褐红的颜色。男孩的表现也将有所改变，空气质量恶化国旗被举起来。

你们中许多人提出的一个问题，为什么这项服务在短短的4个城市可用的，而不是在其他城市。我同意你的关注和深深的体会。然而，扩大这种服务需要大量的财力和时间。一个SAFAR站需要向10 AQMS，10 AWS最小成本，对于预测超级计算机成本，排放库存成本，外展成本等。根据优先级，项目的批准。我们期待，因为它主张以扩大它在未来，但不是在不久的将来。
