The principal scientific objective is to make global SSS measurements over the ice - free oceans with 150 - km spatial resolution, and to achieve a measurement error less than 0.2 (PSS - 78 [practical salinity scale of 1978]-RRB- on a 30 - day time scale, taking into account all sensors and geophysical random errors and biases.Salinity is indeed a key indicator of the strength of the hydrologic cycle because it tracks the differences created by varying evaporation and precipitation, runoff, and ice processes.

Visually, the benefits of higher spatial resolution models can be easily seen in the comparative images between a 200 km and 25 km spatial resolution simulation shown below.

At 8 microns, where mapping of the HDO and H2O2 abundance, the TMT would offer 20 km spatial resolution to sample the vertical extent of the Martian Atmosphere, > 100 km.

Using version 5.1 of the Community Atmospheric Model, developed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) for use by the scientific community, Wehner and his co-authors conducted an analysis for the period 1979 to 2005 at three spatial resolutions: 25 km, 100 km, and 200 km.

With spatial resolutions ranging from 100 km at 5 µm, 240 km at 12 µm and 400 km at 20 µm, we should expect to be able to directly measure the composition of volcanoes with TMT and MICHI.

Satellite radiometric soundings have also been used to provide temperature readings in layers in the atmosphere from near the surface up to about 25 km (16 miles) or so, although these measurements offer less vertical and spatial resolution than in situ measurements.

The spatial resolution of an average IPCC AR4 climate model is about 55,350 square kilometers, or a square 235 km on a side (the highest resolution models resolve areas as small as 100 km on a side).

* Note that the original AVHRR data are available at higher spatial resolution but were regridded by Steig et al. (2009) to 50 km resolution

The spatial resolution of current global climate models, roughly 200 km, is too coarse to simulate the impact of global change on most individual river basins.

«Observed» data is the water equivalent estimation of all types of precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail) derived from NWS River Forecast Centers (RFCs), and is displayed as a gridded field with a spatial resolution of 4x4 km.

Higher spatial resolution (~ 1 km) is also desired.

The GISS analysis is carried out at two spatial resolutions: 1,200 km and 250 km.

QuikSCAT measurements are also limited to a spatial resolution of 12.5 km and are not routinely made closer than about 30 km from land.26 Many in the microwave breakout group argued that high priority should be given to a sustained, more capable, next - generation scatterometer program that can meet these requirements while at the same time continuing the ocean surface vector winds CDR established by QuikSCAT.

In addition, the spatial resolution of ASCAT is half that of QuikSCAT, which limits ASCAT's usefulness in coastal applications to those that are about 50 km or farther from land, and in the resolution of small - scale features in the wind field such as hurricane structure, fronts, and jets.
