  1. GMS Geo Microwave Sounder Michael Madden GOES R Program Office NOAA/NESDIS/OSD/RPSI

  2. Outline • Introduction • Microwave Band • AMSU Examples • GOES R Applications • Promising Technology

  3. Geo Microwave • Passive Sounder identified as GOES R P3I • Compliments HES • Provides high resolution spatial coverage • Scheduled post 2015 launch • NOAA/NASA following promising technologies • Hosted on A, B, or C satellite

  4. Introduction • Passive Microwave Sounder • Based on AMSU experience • Single and dual band algorithms • ATMS already flying on NPOESS • Increases utility of IR sounders • Previously Identified as a need at GUC II • NOAA Requirements • Hemispheric Coverage • Hourly Updates • Temperature/Moisture/Precipitation

  13. GEM Concepts *exact values are TBD

  14. GEostationary Microwave (GEM) • Solid dish antenna design • NOAA/ETL and MIT design • 5 bands (54, 118, 183, 380 and 424 GHz) • 43 Channels • 2m solid dish antenna • 16 – 140 km resolution • CONUS in 90 minutes • 1500 x 1500 km in 15 minutes

  15. GEM Resolution

  16. GeoSTAR • Thinned aperture radiometer • NASA JPL design • 3 bands (54, 89 and 183 GHz) • 10 Channels • 25 – 50 km resolution • Sparse aperture, no moving parts • Full disk in 60 minutes • Similar technology on SMOS

  17. GeoSTAR Resolution

  18. Summary • Passive microwave sounder identified as P3I • Technology continuing, currently PDR • Provide moisture, temperature, precipitation • Cloud clearing for HES • Based on AMSU/ATMS bands • NOAA/NASA following promising technologies • GEM • GeoSTAR • First Launch planned for 2015 • Stay Tuned!
