The unit was inaugurated on Saturday by Indian Space Research Organisation, Bangalore Scientist Dr Jagadish.
ISRO Advisor V V Bhat among others were present.
The Station
The AWS set up here will receive signals from the satellites and give out crucial information on six different aspects pertaining to weather.
The ISRO has set up such stations in 500 remote places across the country. This is being billed off as one of the biggest revolutions as far as space science is concerned. The highlight is that, so far the weather forecast units which were functional in some district or taluk centres could give out only limited details on weather but with the AWS in place the scientists can get information on minute details such as temperature of the sun, speed of wind, pressure, quantity of rain, density of clouds, moisture in the air among others.
Various details will be telecast from the centre every three hours through internet. The weather forecast for next three days can be predicted way in advance from this centre.
Another highlight of the centre is that there is no need to depute staff here at all.
The information from the unit is automatically sent to the satellite, which is than transmitted to the reception centre in Ahmedabad. The entire system is centrally handled at ISRO.
The Space Research Organisation intends to set up several such units in the region in future. A similar unit has been opened at Mangalore University premises as well.
While such a technology was existing in foreign countries till recent days, now the AWS has been set up in India as well through which the scientists are documenting the weather conditions even at the remotest village.
