More ARGs planned in Chennai
The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, has set the ball rolling to procure and replace weather instruments and establish new weather monitoring facilities across Tamil Nadu. Tender has been floated at a national level to procure 34,400 GPS-based radiosonde for upper-air observations. The upper-air observatory in Chennai has been awaiting the weather instrument for a few months. It is significant to measure and collate weather data on various parameters such as wind direction, pressure and wind speed. Officials of the Department said at present, the existing pilot balloon observation with manual theodolite is being used to profile vertical atmospheric wind, apart from satellite data and other surface observation network. While the radiosonde instrument will profile wind variability up to a height of 34 km, the pilot balloon observation will give observations up to an altitude of 10 km.
