In India, more than 80 per cent of the annual rainfall is received during the four monsoon months of June to September. Therefore, the water level in a reservoir can be expected to be highest after the monsoon season after which it gradually depletes till onset of the next monsoon season....
Coincidently, this is the time when fishers expect a higher fish catch, but the receding monsoon cloud cover often limits satellite data coverage. Hence, gap-free data are very important. Furthermore, as the fishers are to be provided with a realistic forecast, it has to be based on the ...
Temporal variability of columnar δD was studied over Northeast (NE) India and mean columnar δD for pre-monsoon and monsoon months were correlated with precipitation data obtained from Global System for Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP). It was observed that δD during the pre-monsoon months of ...
Full size image The MODIS has the large capabilities for observing the atmospheric parameters with 36 channels and spatial resolution of quarter, half and one km with respect to different channels. The MODIS products are extensively utilized for retrieving different parameters of atmosphere in the ener...

Full size image We conducted this study on the Kosi Fan in the Himalayan Foreland in north Bihar plain, India (Fig.1). It is one of the largest fluvial fan, spread over an area of about10,351km2. This is a result of frequent avulsions of the Kosi River channels. In the last thr...
(e.g. japan’s quasi-zenith satellite system (qzss) and india’s regional navigation satellite system (irnss)). all of them are characterized by all-weather, real-time, any time, anywhere and high precision capabilities. these systems continuously transmit l-band signals and are broadly used ...

Full size image 2.3A CloudSat Metric of Convective Intensity To capture the vertical intensity of convective cores and hot towers, we calculate the convective core center of gravity (CoG), which, as noted previously, is the center of mass of the convective core weighted by unadjusted CloudSat re...
The number of agricultural interventions that disseminate information via ICTs is increasing. In India, these include the private initiative of Thomson Reuters, known as Reuters Market Light (RML), which delivers SMSs to farmers’ mobile phones with price, weather, and agroadvisory information.
