  1. Scatterometer Constellation in Next Decade W. Timothy Liu Jet Propulsion Laboratory Pasadena, CA

  2. SAMPLING IMPROVEMENT Tandem mission resolves initial period and daily cycle Scatterometer Constellation - W. Timothy Liu

  3. Liu, Tsai, & Stiles • QuikSCAT and SeaWinds together show 3 cyclones formed at the same time • QuikSCAT alone misses Hape between orbit gaps • Preliminary calibration brings agreement between 2 sensors Scatterometer Constellation - W. Timothy Liu

  4. QuikSCAT ADEOS-II

  5. Diurnal Cycle of Zonal Wind Tmax Amplitude Scatterometers ECMWF

  6. Diurnal Cycle of Meridional Wind Tmax Amplitude Scatterometers ECMWF

  7. Synergism of QuikSCAT and ASCAT in an International Constellation W. Timothy Liu, Wenqing Tang, and Xiaosu Xie • Future Improvements • Potential International Constellation • Diurnal Cycle • Mixed-layer, Wind Power and Gas Flux • Unique Capability
