NEW DELHI: In the season of thunderstorms, the country’s eyes in the sky are helping warn citizens about extreme weather events. Isro plays a key role in weather prediction as it provides satellite data to IMD and processes weather data for public use.

Tapan Misra, director of Space Applications Centre, told TOI, “We collect data from meteorological satellites like Insat-3D, 3DR and Scatsat. We then make correction in the data, which usually gets distorted due to atmospheric disturbances and then send it to IMD for processing. Some experimental atmospheric data are uploaded on our site MOSDAC.”

Santanu Chowdhury, director of National Remote Sensing Centre, told TOI, “We process data of satellites like Resourcesat-2A. Data relating to weather and land are processed and put on portal Bhuvan. We also do oceancolouring monitoring.”
