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.
