Description

The Meteorological & Oceanographic Satellite Data Archival Centre (MOSDAC) is a key initiative in India aimed at providing comprehensive access to satellite data related to meteorology and oceanography. Operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), MOSDAC serves as a central repository for a vast array of data collected from various satellite missions, including information on weather patterns, ocean dynamics, and environmental monitoring. Users, including researchers, policymakers, and the general public, can easily access high-quality datasets that support diverse applications such as climate studies, disaster management, and resource planning. The portal not only facilitates data retrieval and analysis but also promotes the use of satellite information to enhance understanding of atmospheric and oceanographic phenomena, ultimately contributing to better decision-making and resilience against climate change and natural disasters.
