The geostationary synthetic thinned aperture radiometer (GeoSTAR) is a new instrument design that has been under development at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the form of a proof-of-concept prototype. It is intended to fill a serious gap in our Earth remote sensing capabilities - namely the lack of a microwave atmospheric sounder in geostationary orbit. Such sensors have long been part of low-earth-orbiting...
The Geostationary Synthetic Thinned Aperture Radiometer (GeoSTAR) was conceived to fill a gap in our Earth remote sensing capabilities -the lack of a microwave atmospheric sounder in geostationary orbit. This capability is highly desired because of the advantageous observing point GEO offers, with continuous views of the entire visible Earth disc -crucial for observation of hurricanes and other rapidly...
Geo STAR represents a new approach to microwave atmospheric sounding that is now under development. It has capabilities similar to sensors currently operating on low earth orbiting weather satellites but is intended for deployment in geostationary orbit - where it will complement future infrared sounders and enable all-weather temperature and humidity soundings and rain mapping. The required spatial...
