Gap analyses by variable or by type of mission or by WIGOS subcomponent
Variable sorting criteria
Each instrument is assigned with a 5-step rating, evaluated as a blend of several elements. For this particular Variable, the rating is driven by:
the spatial resolution
the exploited technology (passive MW, radar scatterometer, SAR).
RATING CRITERIA:
1
High-spatial-resolution MW radiometer with frequencies ~19, ~37 and possibly ~90 GHz
2
MW radiometer with frequencies ~19, ~37 and possibly ~90 GHz
3
X- and Ku-band SAR, or X-band or C-band SAR
4
L- and S-band SAR, or L- or S-band SAR
5
Radar scatterometer in Ku- and C-band, or Ku- or C- band
