      Question

      Which specialized scientific institution commissioned

      the state-of-the-art X-Band Dual-Polarization Doppler Weather Radar at Mahabaleshwar, Maharashtra, to provide real-time tracking of extreme precipitation events and cloudburst dynamics over the Western Ghats?
      A India Meteorological Department (IMD) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E ISRO Space Applications Centre (SAC) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      • While the IMD runs the national radar grid, this specific, localized X-Band Dual-Polarization research radar facility at Mahabaleshwar was systematically commissioned by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune , an autonomous body under the Ministry of Earth Sciences .
      • Dual-polarization radars emit both horizontal and vertical radio waves, allowing researchers to accurately assess the physical geometry, type, and size of precipitation particles inside active storm clouds.
