MCQ (Single Correct) +4 −1

Meteorological satellites play a vital role in weather forecasting.

Which of the following is not a primary benefit of using
satellites for weather observations?

Providing continuous, global coverage of weather systems, overcoming limitations of ground-based weather stations Measuring atmospheric parameters like temperature and humidity at various altitudes Correct Offering real-time observations of cloud cover, movement, and type, aiding in tracking weather systems Monitoring the movement and development of tropical cyclones and other severe weather events

Role of Meteorological Satellites:
While satellites provide cloud imaging and atmospheric soundings, direct high-resolution vertical profiling of wind and pressure is traditionally measured by radiosondes and rawinsondes. (Correct answer: Option 2)
