High rises block Met’s Doppler radar

Bhopal | Tuesday | 27th June, 2017

Summary:

Bhopal: The Doppler radar set up in Bhopal by Meteorological department to improve weather forecast in Central India has been rendered ineffective by high-rise structures cropping around it. "In fact, when the radar was being set up, Kashyapi said, 500 meters area around it was declared as restricted zone for high-rise buildings. The radar has not been able to scan the atmosphere of Indore division. Though, the building belongs to my department, I did not decide about its construction. We are also facing missing data problem because of radar also..
