ISRO successfully tests radar‑based satellite for accurate coastal sea‑surface temperature and cyclone forecasts
ISRO announced the successful practical design of a radar‑based satellite system that can precisely predict sea‑surface temperatures and cyclones along India's coastline.
ISRO announced the successful practical design of a radar‑based satellite system that can precisely predict sea‑surface temperatures and cyclones along India's coastline.
The new technology employs radar imaging to monitor the ocean surface, delivering real‑time data that enhances the accuracy of coastal weather forecasts.
Officials said the system will strengthen early‑warning capabilities and support disaster‑management efforts in coastal states.
During trials over selected coastal regions, the satellite demonstrated higher precision than existing forecasting models.
ISRO plans to integrate the technology into its operational satellite fleet and work closely with the Indian Meteorological Department to roll out the service nationwide.
