All-Weather Tropospheric 3-D Wind From Microwave Sounders

In this paper, we describe a new approach to measure tropospheric wind vectors from space that has significant advantages over current methods and borders on a breakthrough capability. We report on the results of simulations of observations from a geostationary microwave sounder and, briefly, from a small cluster of low-earth-orbiting CubeSats. The geostationary simulations show a precision of bet...
