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 technique used to measure atmospheric drag.
RATING CRITERIA:
1
GNSS radio-occultation sounding
2

3
Laser retroreflector array during satellite re-entry
