Conical Scanning Microwave Imager/Sounder(CMIS) Sensor Requirements Document (SRD) for National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Spacecraft and Sensors

摘要

This Sensor Requirements Document sets forth the requirements of the CONICAL SCANNING MICROWAVE IMAGER/SOUNDER which is part of the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) and is hereinafter referred to as the CMIS. The purpose of the CMIS is to collect global microwave radiometry and sounding data. This data will be processed to produce microwave imagery and other specialized meteorological and oceanographic data using algorithms developed in conjunction with the flight hardware. The data will be processed from Raw Data Records (RDRs) into Sensor Data Records (SDRs), Temperature Data Records (TDRs) and Environmental Data Records (EDRs). Data will be disseminated to users worldwide by the Department of Defense, Department of Commerce and the European Meteorological Organization.
