Japanese firm Toshiba Corp today said that it in collaboration with Electronic Corporation of India has received an order to supply transportable Doppler weather radar system to India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The radar, the first weather radar that Toshiba will supply to outside Japan, will be installed at Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir in January 2015, Toshiba said in a statement.
However, the company did not provide the financial details of the order.
Localized catastrophic flooding caused by long or local heavy rainfall is becoming a significant problem worldwide and weather radars track cloud movements and can pinpoint the buildup of potentially threatening systems in real time, allowing the authorities to issue warnings and order life-saving evacuations, the statement added.
