摘要
Millimeter and Sub-mm-wave imagers/sounders are considered for future meteorological geostationary satellite missions. A novel interferometric Geostationary Atmospheric Sounder (GAS) has been developed and a concept demonstrator is under construction. The concept is a response to the requirements of observations for nowcasting and short range forecasting in 2015-2025, as determined by EUMETSAT for post-MSG operational satellites observations. Prioritized parameters include vertical profiles of temperature and humidity with high temporal and horizontal resolution (15 min and 30 km) under all weather conditions. Frequency bands around 53GHz, 118GHz, 183GHz, 380GHz have the highest user priority and are all supported by GAS. The instrument relies on an innovative configuration of interferometer elements which enables the use of a sparse array and simplifies calibration.
