Toward the Next Generation of Microwave Sounders: Benefits of a Low-Earth Orbit Hyperspectral Microwave Instrument in All-Weather Conditions Using AI by Eric S. Maddy, Flavio Iturbide-Sanchez, Sid Ahmed Boukabara

“…Through simulation experiments, the results of this study demonstrate the major benefits of HyMS sensor observations in low-Earth orbit (LEO), including; 1) increased information content over the microwave region, 2) improved temperature and moisture sounding in all-weather conditions, resulting from higher signal-to-noise ratios, finer vertical resolution, and a reduced dependence on background information due to the increased spectral resolution around oxygen and water vapor absorption features between 23 and 183 GHz, 3) improved profiling of hydrometeors, and 4) improved resilience to radio frequency interference, demonstrated at 23 GHz, associated with the redundant information provided by the HyMS. …”
