摘要：

The Canadian Space Agency's Hurricane Watch program monitors tropical cyclones worldwide and acquires RADARSAT-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery to provide experimental datasets to the scientific research community interested in surface wind field studies. The current HW archives spans from 1999 to 2006 and contain a variety of tropical cyclones from around the world. The images show various storm development stages, and morphological characteristics. To further promote the initiative, CSA is about to provide processed images to the scientific community through an Announcement of Opportunity. In this paper, we will demonstrate how simulations of extensive acquisition plans over the Atlantic basin can provide an improved planning strategy to increase the number of valuable images.
