Cyclone Fengal, a powerful weather system in the Bay of Bengal, is steadily advancing toward the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu. As the storm approaches landfall between Karaikal and Mahabalipuram by the morning of November 30, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been closely monitoring its progress through a combination of advanced satellite systems.
Since November 23, ISRO has been using data from its polar-orbiting satellite EOS-06 and geostationary satellite INSAT-3DR to provide crucial information on the cyclone’s intensity, trajectory, and ocean conditions. This data plays a key role in informing disaster management efforts and ensuring safety along the coast.

ISRO’s Satellite Contribution to Cyclone Fengal Tracking ISRO has been actively tracking Cyclone Fengal with the help of its state-of-the-art space technology, allowing for accurate and real-time assessments of the storm’s movement. The organization’s polar-orbiting satellite, EOS-06, is equipped with a Scatterometer sensor that has provided essential early warnings of the cyclone’s development. This sensor detects wind patterns in the ocean, which are key indicators of cyclone formation and intensity. EOS-06 has been particularly useful in monitoring the wind direction and intensity over the Bay of Bengal, giving meteorologists valuable lead time to prepare safety measures. These satellite-derived inputs offer a much clearer picture of the storm’s behaviour before it intensifies, providing authorities with the information needed to issue timely warnings and take preventive actions.https://www.oneindia.com/india/isro-s-satellite-power-boosts-cyclone-fengal-tracking-early-warnings-and-storm-insights-4001581.html?utm_source=JioNews&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=JioNews
