Abstract:Ultra-spectral sounders (USS) in low earth orbit have significantly improved weather forecast accuracy in recent years, and their impact could be significantly improved with reduced revisit times. The GeoMetWatch, Inc. 1 Sounding and Tracking Observatory for Regional Meteorology ( STORMTM ) program is designed to place a constellation of six USS units in spaced geostationary (GEO) positions around the earth. From GEO, the repeat time for a specific weather feature can be reduced to minutes, and the vertical te… Show more
“…Under the leadership of the same team that developed and tested GIFTS, Utah State University's Advanced Weather Systems Foundation (AWS) will build the STORM sensors for GMW. STORM-1 will launch in 2016 12 as a commercial payload on board the AsiaSat-9 telecom satellite 13 with a position of 122 degrees east.…”
