Lidar and Mission Parameter Trade Study of Space-Based Coherent Wind Measurement Centered on NASA's 2006 GWOS Wind MissionStudy Parameters

摘要

The value b = 0.05 used herein is conservative in that it is on the poor performance side of a steep performance "cliff". For example, an increase of only 50% in the aerosol backscatter coefficient (from 2.75 10~(-8) to 4.16 10~(-8) m~(-1) sr~(-1)) would improve b from 0.05 to 0.002 (99.8% good estimates) and would improve σ_(V,G+B+S,HOR) from 2.1 to 1.0 m/s. Since each trade could be repeated for every possible operating point, we are only beginning to cover all possibilities.
