competition wizard Published this article page no 59 India initiated its Arctic research program in 2007 with a focus on climate change in the region. The objectives included studying teleconnections between Arctic climate and Indian monsoon to characterize sea ice in the Arctic using satellite data to estimate the effect on global warming. India already has a research station in the Arctic Himadri for the research work. Significance of arctic study for India Though none of Indias territory directly falls in the Arctic region it is a crucial area as the Arctic influences atmospheric oceanographic and biogeochemical cycles of the earths ecosystem. Due to climate change the region faces the loss of sea ice ice caps and warming of the ocean which in turn impacts the global climate. The frigid Arctic which keeps losing ice due to global warming is one of the batteries feeding the variations in Indian monsoons. GSAT7B satellite which recently got the acceptance of necessity from the Defence Ministry will be a dedicated satellite for the Indian Army. The satellite would help the Indian Army enhance its surveillance in border areas. Significance of the satellite The GSAT 7B will primarily fulfil the communication needs of the Army. The use of such a satellite would also mean that the Armys vast array of radio communication equipment could come under a single platform. GSAT 7 Satellite series They are advanced satellites developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to meet the communication needs of the defence services. The GSAT 7 satellite has a footprint of nearly 2000 nautical miles in the Indian Ocean region competition wizard buy.
