Silent Sentinels of the Sky from High Altitude Cloud Physics Laboratory (HACPL), Mahabaleshwar.

Set against forested hills and calm waters, the HACPL facility and an X-band weather radar quietly monitor the ever-changing atmosphere. While the landscape appears tranquil, the radar continuously probes clouds and precipitation systems, capturing their structure, motion, and evolution. This silent observation enables the discovery of subtle atmospheric processes that shape local weather and extreme events, reminding us that some of the most important scientific insights emerge from instruments that work unseen.
