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 observing technique (radio occultation, e.m. oscillations, UV/EUV spectrometry);
the observed volume (magnetosphere or Earth’s limb or platform environment)
whether the measurement is performed by more satellites flown in cluster.
RATING CRITERIA:
1
Radio occultation receiver flown in a dedicated constellation
Radio occultation receiver flown on single satellite
2
Magnetic and electric oscillator flown through the magnetosphere in a satellite cluster
Magnetic and electric oscillator flown through the magnetosphere
3
Magnetic or electric oscillator flown through the magnetosphere in a satellite cluster
Magnetic or electric oscillator flown through the magnetosphere
4
Magnetic or electric oscillator measuring in the Earth’s limb or in the platform environment
5
UV and EUV spectrometer measuring in the Earth’s limb
UV or EUV spectrometer measuring in the Earth’s limb
