Which of the following best describes the main objective of the Indo-French Megha – Tropiques satellite mission?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा कथन भारत – फ्रांसीसी मेघा – ट्रॉपिक्स उपग्रह मिशन के मुख्य उद्देश्य का सबसे अच्छा वर्णन करता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Understanding convective systems and the water cycle in tropical regions/ उष्णकटिबंधीय क्षेत्रों मे संवहन प्रणालियों और जल चक्र को समझना
🟢 Explanation
The Megha–Tropiques satellite was a joint mission of India and France launched to study the tropical atmosphere, especially rainfall and climate processes.
Its main objective was to improve understanding of:
-
Tropical convective systems (formation of clouds and storms)
-
The water cycle in tropical regions
-
Energy exchange between the atmosphere and oceans
-
Monsoon behaviour and weather prediction
The mission was jointly developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES).
🟢 व्याख्या
मेघा–ट्रॉपिक्स (Megha–Tropiques) उपग्रह भारत और फ्रांस का संयुक्त मिशन था, जिसका मुख्य उद्देश्य उष्णकटिबंधीय वायुमंडल का अध्ययन करना था।
इस मिशन का प्रमुख लक्ष्य था:
-
उष्णकटिबंधीय क्षेत्रों में संवहन प्रणाली (बादल व तूफान बनने की प्रक्रिया) को समझना
-
जल चक्र (Water Cycle) का अध्ययन
-
महासागर और वायुमंडल के बीच ऊर्जा विनिमय का विश्लेषण
-
मानसून एवं मौसम पूर्वानुमान को बेहतर बनाना
यह उपग्रह Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) और Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) का संयुक्त प्रयास था।
⭐ Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य
🔹 “Megha” means cloud in Sanskrit.
🔹 The satellite was specially designed for tropical climate research, unlike polar-orbit climate missions.
🔹 Data from this mission helped improve monsoon forecasting, which is very important for India’s agriculture.
🔹 It carried instruments to measure humidity, rainfall, and atmospheric energy balance.
