Climate change is on everybody's minds these days. The National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has also planned to launch some sophisticated satellites to keep a watch on climate change.
Director of NRSC V K Dhadwal, who came calling to the Regional Remote Sensing Centre in the city, spoke about the importance of keeping a watch on the changes in climate and the role remote sensing can play in it. The most ambitious projects include Megha-Tropiques, INSAT-3D, Saral Altika and SCATSAT among others. He said not just ISRO but other national and international space bodies including NASA and United Nations' Environment Programme (UNEP) had been taking serious actions in this regard too.

As the name suggests, Megha-Tropiques would help analyse the rainfall pattern while the advanced INSAT-3D would be exclusively used for meteorological purposes. Dhadwal was especially excited about Saral, which was being developed with help from French scientists, as it would be the first spaceborne altimeter to operate at K{-a} band. SCATSAT, that he said would be in use only in 2014, would be entirely dedicated to climate monitoring.
