Q1Which institution, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, launched the Special El Niño Bulletin in June 2026 to safeguard India's maritime zones?

A India Meteorological Department (IMD)

B National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR)

C Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS)

D Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI)

Explanation

The Special El Niño Bulletin was launched by the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS), which functions under the Ministry of Earth Sciences. The first bulletin was released on 22 June 2026 to highlight the likely impacts of El Niño on India's maritime regions.

Q2With reference to the first INCOIS Special El Niño Bulletin (June 2026), consider the following statements: 1. The El Niño event is expected to peak during the summer season of 2027. 2. During the monsoon, the Arabian Sea and west coast are expected to be more turbulent than the Bay of Bengal. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only

B 2 only

C Both 1 and 2

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are incorrect. Statement 1 is wrong because the bulletin states El Niño is expected to peak during the winter season (November 2026 to January 2027), not summer 2027. Statement 2 is wrong because, during the monsoon, the Bay of Bengal will remain turbulent while the Arabian Sea and west coast are expected to stay calmer than normal. Hence, neither statement is correct.
