find out how ISROsatellites tracked fani cyclone and saved many lives which indians satellites helped in it.
Answers
Satellites play a critical role in forecasting, particularly during cyclones, helping us describe the initial parameters for weather models, closer to the actual atmospheric conditions.
More likely NASA Images has helped to understand situation for IMD .
According INDIA METEOROLOGICAL DEPARTMENT (IMD) five Indian satellites kept a constant eye on the system as it brewed into cyclone fani. The data from satellites “Insat-3D, Insat-3DR, Scatsat-1, Oceansat-2”. One of the main payloads from the satellites used to mark the eye of Fani was the scatterometer onboard Scatsat-1, a polar orbiting miniature satellite, and Oceansat-2, sending data about ocean surface, wind speed and wind direction. With IMD was able to accurately forecast the exact location where the cyclone was to make landfall .
NASA has already shown the possibility of this cyclone .Satellite imagery from NASA shows how Cyclone Fani developed off the coast of the southern Andhra Pradesh state before hitting Odisha.
NASA's satellites Aqua and Terra tracked Cyclone Fani as it continued to move northwards along the eastern coast of India . The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite provided a visible image of Fani. Infrared imagery revealed that ragged eye and microwave imagery showed curved bands of thunderstorms wrapping into the eye.
The GPM core observatory satellite passed over Tropical Cyclone Fani on May 1, 2019 as it was strengthening and nearing landfall in northeastern India. This 3D image shows the powerful storms circling the center . This image is released by Goddard Space centre Nasa ;
