MT :Megha-Tropiques is an Indo-French Joint Satellite Mission for studying the water cycle and energy exchanges in the tropics. The main objective of this mission is to understand the life cycle of convective systems that influence the tropical weather and climate and their role in associated energy and moisture budget of the atmosphere in tropical regions. MT/SCARAB :The SCARAB instrument, designed to study the Earth Radiation Budget, is a cross track passive multi-spectral scanning radiometer sensing the Earth/atmosphere when the spacecraft is moving ahead. It is composed of two units:id:MT/SCARAB.a |
