MetOp-SG-B’s Scatterometer Weather Satellite Weathers Extensive Tests
It will measure wind speed and direction over the ocean surface, to help monitor scale phenomena such as ocean winds and continental ice sheets, and check land surface soil moisture — a key driver of water and heat fluxes between the ground and the atmosphere. The flight model of the Scatterometer Antenna Subsystem (SAS) of […]
