Under this initiative 86 automatic weather stations have been installed in the Northeast.

The Minister said that under this activity, the entire observational network in the northeastern region will be augmented to improve the weather and forecasting skills over the region by commissioning of state of art systems like 8 X-band doppler weather radars, GPS sonde systems, snow gauges.
