Tropical Processes Applications for CYGNSS

Abstract: The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is focused primarily on observing extreme winds in the inner core of tropical cyclones But… Named storms will occur in view of CYGNSS constellation for only a small percentage of the time on orbit And… Rapid-update, all-weather sampling of wind speeds has many other applications in Tropical Meteorology So… Many potential tropical processes applications for CYGNSS were identified in previous Workshop – Let’s revisit some of these po…
