摘要：

The proposed Temporal Experiment for Storms and Tropical Systems (TEMPEST) satellite mission addresses key science needs related to cloud and precipitation processes using a constellation of five CubeSats with identical five-frequency millimeter-wave radiometers spaced 5-10 minutes apart in orbit. This CubeSat constellation will directly observe the time evolution of clouds to study the conditions that control the transition of clouds to precipitation. The TEMPEST millimeter-wave radiometers will penetrate into the cloud to directly observe changes as the cloud begins to precipitate or ice accumulates inside the storm. TEMPEST provides observations at five millimeter-wave frequencies from 90 to 183 GHz using a single compact instrument that is well suited for a 6U CubeSat architecture and fits well within the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative capabilities.
