ISRO’s EOS‑06/Oceansat‑3 satellite has recorded the clearest evidence yet of a major El Niño event, marking a significant milestone in climate monitoring.
The data shows unusually warm sea surface temperatures across the central and eastern Pacific, consistent with the World Meteorological Organization’s forecast for a strong El Niño.
Scientists say the observations will help improve seasonal weather predictions for India and other parts of the world, potentially aiding agriculture and disaster preparedness.
ISRO officials noted that the satellite’s advanced sensors provide high‑resolution measurements, enhancing the accuracy of climate models.
