India should evolve a clear-cut strategy for observing various parameters associated with the atmospheric phenomena in the light of ever changing pattern of weather, ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair said."With greater deviations in climatic pattern and global warming driving people to chaos for want of proper mechanism to have effective and timely prediction, we should evolve a clear cut strategy for observing various parameters associated with atmospheric phenomena," Nair said.
With the help of modern equipment at its disposal, India could make precise forcasting of the changing weather pattern, he said, inaugurating the Department of Atmospheric Science at Kannur University's Mangattuparamba campus in Kannur.
The Department is coming up here with the help of ISRO's contribution of Rs 18.20 lakh.
He said ISRO has begun preparations for the launch of Chandrayan-II mission to land a spacecraft into the Moon by 2012-13.
Nair, who led the successful Chandrayaan Mission to the Moon, said all the apparatus inside the orbiting space craft is working in total perfection and has so far sent around 50,000 images of the Earth's satellite providing much needed data to the scientific community.
