using a combination of visible imagery from the International Space Station (ISS) and both visible and infrared imagery from Himawari 8, to test the accuracy and reliability of our method on western Pacific typhoons. In operational mode, TCIMS would employ a constellation comprising three nanosatellites, together with data from GOES-R series satellites and instruments mounted on the exterior of the ISS, to provide continuous worldwide monitoring of all strong (category 3 or higher) TCs within 35 of the equator.

I don't think they are trying to do away with Atlantic recon & rely only on satellites & the ISS, much like the Pacific - but, like he states in his presentation, having reliable, hourly data would be nice. Does anyone know what the lifespan of the ISS is, providing all countries involved are fully cooperating and not at war? |
