STORM: sounding and tracking observatory for regional meteorology to launch in 2016
2013
Infrared Remote Sensing and Instrumentation XXI
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.
