In addition ESA and EUMETSAT are jointly planning a series of operational C - band
scatterometers for flight beyond the year 2001.
Not exact matches
For several years the CERSAT has been providing sea ice maps derived from various
scatterometers (microwave radar) on board earth observation satellites (ERS - 1, ERS - 2, ADEOS - 1 or QuikSCAT).
The researchers compared the GNSS - R satellite measurements with data from other sources, including tropical cyclone best track data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers
for Environmental Information; two climate reanalysis products; and a spaceborne
scatterometer, a tool that uses microwave radar to measure winds near the surface of the ocean.
Neither of these
scatterometers can therefore be considered viable mitigation strategies
for continuation of the ocean surface vector winds CDR.
