CEDAR email: AGU Nanosatellite Atmospheric Sensors Abstract Deadline: Aug. 6th!

[Kerri Cahoy]

Hi All, 

Please consider submitting an abstract (due August 6th) to our AGU Session #2058 on Nanosatellite Atmospheric Sensors. We look forward to a stimulating and engaging session! 

https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm14/webprogrampreliminary/Session2058.html

Please do forward this announcement to other colleagues, your students, etc. and I would appreciate suggestions of any other lists that would be appropriate to send it to.  

Thank you! Hope to see you there!

Best,

AGU Session ID#: 2058
Session Description:

CubeSats provide an opportunity to develop atmospheric sounding and imaging instruments with state of the art measurement capability for platforms that allow rapid technological innovation and easy access to space. Constellations of CubeSats with atmospheric sensors will improve geospatial, temporal, and spectral coverage of the Earth. Several instruments, such as miniaturized single or multi band millimeter-wave to submillimeter-wave radiometers and GNSS radio occultation systems, are either under development or have been recently deployed for single-spacecraft technology demonstration missions. This session will capture current status from missions in development, initial results from deployed missions, and plans for communication, data acquisition, processing, validation, and the release of data products. In addition, this session will include observing system simulation experiments that demonstrate and quantify the science benefit of nanosatellite constellation architectures for applications such as forecasting tropical cyclones and severe weather.
