Doppler radars for Himalayas
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: Two Doppler radars with advanced capability will be set up in the Himalayan region to predict avalanches, track cloud bursts and hailstorms, and detect air turbulences, monsoon dynamics and severe weather events.
These radars will monitor critical weather parameters, including snowfall, and help in improved forecasts for high altitude operations.
A memorandum of understanding in this regard was signed on Thursday in Bangalore by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) with the Snow and Avalanche Study Establishment (SASE) of the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
A press release said ISRO had developed the technology of Doppler weather radar (DWR) and transferred it to Bharat Electronics Limited for producing these radars. The DWR operates in the ‘S’ band and can monitor clouds and precipitation systems.
