Here is some good news for all interested in getting regular weather updates.
Cochin University of Science and Technology launched its weekly weather bulletin initiative utilising the data generated using the facility at the site of its Rs. 20 crore Stratosphere Troposphere (ST) Radar.
Vice Chancellor J. Letha released the first bulletin. She also inaugurated the 32-metre meteorological tower at the radar site set up in association with the Center for Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation (CMMACS), Bangalore. It helps in providing weather information in the lower level of the atmosphere.
K. Mohankumar, Director of the Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research, said that the 25 MHz radar had immense applications in Meteorology, Cloud Physics, Thunderstorms, Weather, Climate Change, and Civil aviation. It will play a key role in research on the Indian summer monsoon.
