The ship acts as a moving weather station, providing real-time data that helps refine monsoon prediction models. Major Contributions to Science By studying the interaction between the ocean and
The vessel has been a core asset in understanding the Indian Summer Monsoon. By participating in international experiments like BOBMEX (Bay of Bengal Monsoon Experiment) and ARMEX (Arabian Sea Monsoon Experiment), scientists used the ship to track how heat exchanges between the ocean surface and the atmosphere trigger seasonal rains. 3.
