The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced to the installation of seven new doppler radars in Maharashtra, including Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doppler radars of varying frequencies \u2014 S-band, C-band and X-band \u2014 are commonly used by the IMD to detect and track the movement of weather systems, cloud bands and gauge rainfall over its coverage area of about 500 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The radars guide meteorologists, particularly in times of extreme weather events like cyclones and associated heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the radar observations, updated every 10 minutes, forecasters can follow the development of weather systems as well as their varying intensities, and accordingly predict weather events and their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An X-band radar is used to detect thunderstorms and lightning whereas C-band guides at the time of cyclone tracking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
