Abstract

FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC a successful Taiwan-U.S. project FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC launched nearly on time and within budget (∼S100M mission) Cost-effective way of obtaining global atmospheric soundings in all weather High accuracy, precision and vertical resolution demonstrated Already positive impact on weather models + hurricane forecasting Observations of tropical boundary layer from space for first time Only observing system to provide information on ionosphere, stratosphere and troposphere Will have major impact on climate monitoring-world's most accurate, precise and stable thermometer!
