| Description |
| Dear ROM SAF Data User Issued : 2017-03-13 09:53 UTC Survey on user requirements for potential ionospheric products from EPS-SG radio occultation measurements Report link: http://www.romsaf.org/general-documents/rsr/rsr_25_v11.pdf Abstract: EUMETSAT's Polar System-Second Generation (EPS-SG) satellites will continue and enhance the currently flying EPS satellite observations from about 2021 onwards. The Radio Occultation (RO) instrument on the satellites is primarily designed to sound the lower neutral atmospheric layers, from about 80 km downwards (similar to the current EPS/GRAS instrument). But they also include the possibility of sounding the ionosphere up to 500 km. In order to compile the interests and suggested requirements of ionospheric data users, a survey was conducted among space-weather, ionospheric, GNSS, and other scientific communities that might be interested in such EPS-SG RO products. The users were explicitly asked about the sampling, precision and latency requirements, their preferred formats and dissemination channels, or the application they target, among other questions. In addition, they were invited to read the information about the EPS-SG RO mission provided with the questionnaire and to comment on potential limitations identified and their impact in the user’s application or operations. A ROM SAF report has been prepared to present the survey and to summarize its outcome. It shows that the range of applications of such data sets would span beyond space-weather and ionospheric monitoring applications, with some specific targets of interest for other EUMETSAT SAFs, and are also relevant for other RO missions. Regarding EPS-SG, the suggested ionospheric user requirements would generally be met, with restrictions on latency (which is driven by the neutral atmospheric requirements) aspects for some space-weather operational applications. Kind regards The ROM SAF Team |
