| TRISHNA Satellite to Improve Climate Monitoring ISRO and France’s CNES are jointly
developing TRISHNA, a thermal-imaging Earth-observation satellite. It will
monitor crop water stress, irrigation, glaciers, water resources, and urban
ecosystems. The satellite will help improve climate studies and natural-resource
management. Its launch is planned for 2026. Rahul Sk, Rohan Sekh, BCA, Semester 3, School of Engineering and Technology, Adamas University ISRO Satellite Detects Decline in
Pacific Marine Productivity |
By Koyena Chatterjee
ISRO’s Oceansat-3 satellite has detected a
sharp decline in marine productivity across the equatorial Pacific as El Niño
develops. The satellite recorded reduced levels of surface chlorophyll-a during
April–June 2026, indicating lower phytoplankton growth. Scientists said
weakened trade winds during El Niño reduce the upwelling of nutrient-rich water
needed by marine organisms. The decline could affect the marine food chain,
while experts warn that low-chlorophyll regions may become more pronounced in
the coming months.
