Q31. Mission Mausam aims to establish Doppler Weather Radars, Radio Sonde/Radio Wind stations and disdrometers. 2. Mission Mausam's listed observation infrastructure excludes any Ocean Research station. 3. Mission Mausam aims to establish 100 Marine Automatic Weather Stations with upper air observation. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because DWRs, RS/RW stations and disdrometers are part of the listed establishment targets. Statement 2 is false because one Ocean Research station is included. Statement 3 is false because the cited target is 10 Marine Automatic Weather Stations with upper air observation, not 100.
Q4Consider the following statements about the Mahabaleshwar radar's technical features: 1. It operates at 9.45 GHz with solid-state power amplifier technology. 2. Its dual-polarization capability provides insights into cloud microphysics. 3. It enhances nowcasting only up to 30 minutes. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: PIB gives the 9.45 GHz SSPA operation and dual-polarization insights into cloud microphysics. Statement 3 is false because the radar enhances nowcasting up to three hours, not only 30 minutes.
Q5Consider the following statements about basic deliverables of Mission Mausam: 1. The mission envisages establishment of 50 Doppler Weather Radars. 2. The mission envisages establishment of 60 Radiosonde/Radio Wind stations and 100 disdrometers. 3. The mission envisages 10 Ocean Research stations. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: the IMD note lists 50 DWRs, 60 RS/RW stations and 100 disdrometers. Statement 3 is false because the same deliverables list 1 Ocean Research station, not 10.
