1 Driftsonde System Overview Zero-pressure Balloon Gondola (24 sonde capacity) 6 hours between drops Terry Hock, Hal Cole, Charlie Martin National Center for Atmospheric Research Earth Observing Lab December 7, 2004 OrbComm LEO Satellite First THORPEX International Science Symposium Montreal, Canada NORTH AMERICA ATLANTIC OCEAN EUROPE
2 Predictability research suggests that additional in-situ measurements in Sensitive Regions will improve predictions of high-impact weather events, these regions are often cloudy. Sensitive regions for November 2001 based on 30-day average of the NRL NOGAPS model (color coded). The contours are the 500 hpa height field. Courtesy of Alan Thorpe,Rolf Langland, and Melvyn Shapiro from THORPEX planning presentations.
3 Driftsonde Motivation Satellite based measurements: Infrared techniques have limits due to opaque cloud cover OrbComm Microwave techniques have relatively course vertical resolution LEO Satellite Zero-pressure Horizontal winds are a challenge in deep cloud layers. Balloon Driftsonde Goal Cost-effective observing system to fill critical gaps in data coverage over oceanic Gondola and remote artic and continental regions with high vertical resolution (24 sonde atmospheric capacity) profiles of: Wind Temperature Humidity made 6 hours by GPS Dropsondes. between New Satellite-based drops techniques (constituent track winds, water vapor tracking, Doppler lidar measurements in clear air) clearly have a need for in-situ measurements to evaluate and calibrate these satellite systems. NORTH AMERICA ATLANTIC OCEAN EUROPE
4 Driftsonde Operation OrbComm System requirements LEO Satellite Provide Zero-pressure Soundings with Global coverage Cost Balloon effective (Complete system is expendable) Flight duration 4-6 days Altitude mb Deploy Gondola Dropsondes on command (Targeting) or automatically (Timed) Payload (24 sonde of minimum capacity) 20 dropsondes ( 4/day for 5 days) Real-time position tracking - ATC monitoring Engineering Challenges Cost, 6 hours disposable sounding system Reliable betweenglobal satellite communications (Orbcomm, Globalstar, Iridium) Harsh dropsenvironment, temperature extremes (diurnal variations in radiation) Altitude control [zero-pressure balloon ballasting algorithms] Integration issues (GPS, Iridium, Sonde Transmitters, Receivers) Flight train launch NORTH AMERICA ATLANTIC OCEAN EUROPE
