Abstract

The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a spaceborne mission concept focused on tropical cyclone (TC) inner core process studies. CYGNSS attempts to resolve the principle deficiencies with current TC intensity forecasts, which lies in inadequate observations and modeling of the inner core. CYGNSS consists of 8 GPS bistatic radar receivers deployed on separate nanosatellites. The primary science driver is rapid sampling of ocean surface winds in the inner core of tropical cyclones
