Doppler radar to be operational by next week
Hyderabad’s Doppler radar hasn’t been working for a month, making giving weather forecasts difficult.
In the monsoon season, Doppler radars are one of the most important forecasting tools. By sending electromagnetic waves to clouds, these radars can determine the intensity of rain bands based on the frequency received back by the sensors.
This is the first time the radar has been down for this long, according to Dr. K Nagaratna, Director of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) – Hyderabad. It is expected that a few damaged radar parts worth Rs 25 lakhs will be imported by Monday.
In the absence of radar, the weather department relies on other tools such as light observation, synoptic charts, and models, she said, adding that wind patterns are also checked using radars from other places.
