  • The Winter Fog Experiment (WiFEX) was launched in the winter of 2015 at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), New Delhi.
  • WiFEX is one of the world’s few long-term open-field experiments focused solely on fog.
  • It was led by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
  • Now WiFEX is stepping into its next phase — WiFEX-II— which will extend localised, runway-specific fog predictions to more airports in North India.
