This is an abridged introduction as of 30 Dec’25; to the panorama of Remote Sensing comprising remote sensing devices viz. satellites, weather satellites, and defence (spy), and NISAR- satellites i.e. Polar-orbiting and Geostationary satellites with their applications in studying the land, Ocean and cryosphere interactions affecting the aviation, meteorological data resulting in Convective Mesoscale Systems, and Weather analysis to predict Adverse Weather Phenomena(Thunderstorm, Dust storm, Sandstorm, hailstorm, Tropical Cyclones, hurricane, tornadoes, squalls, and poor visibility etc.) for civil and defence operations during Peace and Wars.
It gives glimpses of the advanced Remote Sensing techniques e.g. WINDCO (high level wind measurements through satellite imageries by using Mc
IDAS (Man-Computer-Interaction-Data-Access-System). It also deals with the impact of Adverse Weather and Environmental pollution (Air, Water), on Global Warming, Climate Change and the Disasters affecting, health, ecology and the Global economy.
