The Importance of a Small-Sat Wind Lidar for Weather Prediction and Climate Studies

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Knowledge of the global wind field is widely recognized as fundamental to advancing our understanding and prediction of weather and climate. A small-satellite wind lidar development effort has been proposed beginning in FY 1997 with launch in FY 2001. Preliminary analyses indicate that significant science advances can be expected.
