Gap analyses by variable or by type of mission
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 (active radio waves, radio occultation, altimetry);
- the observed volume (magnetosphere, Earth’s limb, platform environment, interplanetary space).
RATING CRITERIA:
|
1
|
- Active radio-wave in the magnetosphere and Earth’s limb
|
2
|
- Cluster of radio occultation sounders
|
3
|
- Radio occultation sounder with directional antenna(s)
|
4
|
- Radio occultation sounder with omni-directional antenna
- Dual-frequency radar altimeter
|
5
|
- Active radio-wave in the platform environment or the interplanetary space
