Explanation:

- Correct Answer: Option 3 - INSAT series

- The INSAT (Indian National Satellite) series satellites are equipped with Very High-Resolution Radiometers (VHRRs), providing valuable observations of weather-related phenomena such as temperature, cloud cover, and wind.

- Option 1: IRS series

- The Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites are primarily used for resource monitoring, agriculture, forestry, land-use mapping, and disaster management rather than meteorological purposes.

- Option 2: GSAT series

- GSAT (Geostationary Satellite) is a series of communications satellites, focusing on telecommunication, broadcasting, and broadband services and not primarily on weather observation.

- Option 4: SROSS series

- The SROSS (Stretched Rohini Satellite Series) were experimental satellites used mainly for Earth observation applications and space science research and not specifically equipped for weather monitoring using VHRR.
