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 such as the uncertainty, the vertical resolution, and the frequency and spatial resolution of the retrieved measurement in comparison with the space-time variability of the geophysical parameter. For this particular Variable, the rating is driven by:
the spectral resolution;
the scanning mode (cross-nadir, limb).
RATING CRITERIA:
1
High-resolution TIR spectrometer
2
Medium-resolution TIR spectrometer
3
Coarse-resolution TIR spectrometer
4
TIR spectrometer scanning the limb mechanically or electronically
5
TIR spectrometer limb scanning by solar occultation
