Extra Terrestrial Remote Sensing and Geophysical Applications toUnderstand Kedarnath Cloudburst in Uttarakhand, India

Saumitra Mukherjee*

Anthropogenic activities and episodic variations in extra-terrestrial activities lead to climate change which can be disastrous. In the Himalayan terrain the influence of local changes of land uses including construction of reservoirs on the Ganges and Alaknanda rivers. Sudden rise in proton flux from the Sun was responsible for the anomalous rise in atmospheric temperature. High concentration of aerosol trapped in the atmosphere and glaciers in Indo-China border initiated the nucleation process in the concentrated water vapor to initiate the formation of clouds for the cloudburst in Kedarnath.
