Title
Flower Constellation of Millimeter-Wave Radiometers for Tropospheric Monitoring at Pseudogeostationary Scale
Abstract
In this paper, the design of a minisatellite FLOwer constellation (FC), deploying millimeter-wave (MMW) scanning RADiometers, namely, FLORAD, and devoted to tropospheric observations, is analyzed and discussed. The FLORAD mission is aimed at the retrieval of thermal and hydrological properties of the troposphere, specifically temperature profile, water-vapor profile, cloud liquid content, and rain...
