Cyclonic Storm ‘DANA’ is fast approaching the coastal districts of Odisha and West Bengal. ISRO satellites are tracking the cyclone since 20-Oct-2024. ISRO polar orbiting satellite EOS-06 and geostationary satellite INSAT-3DR are regularly providing valuable information on the cyclone status.

ISRO polar orbiting satellite EOS-06 Scatterometer sensor provides the status of ocean winds and their circulation well before the formation of the cyclone.
