- US Space Agency NASA yakapa kondirakiti kuYunivhesiti yeMichigan yeCyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) yekushanda kwemishini uye kuvhara.
- Iine boka renyeredzi remamicrosatellites masere, sisitimu inogona kuona madutu kakawanda uye nenzira yechinyakare masatelliti haakwanise, ichiwedzera kugona kwesainzi kunzwisisa uye kufanotaura madutu.
- Iko kukosha kwekondirakiti inosvika $39 miriyoni. Iyo CYGNSS Science Operations Center iri paYunivhesiti yeMichigan.
Kwemakumi emakore, NASA yakaita basa rinotungamira pakushandisa Earth-kutarisa satellite kuunganidza data rinodiwa kupa nhamba yekufanotaura mamiriro ekunze. CYGNSS inoenderera mberi nebasa iri, ichishandisa nzira yekunzwa iri kure inonzi "GPS signal scattering" kuona kuburikidza nekunaya kukuru kwemvura kuti vafungidzire simba remhepo pamusoro pemukati mepakati pemadutu.
“CYGNSS rave riri basa rekutanga iro raita kuti tinzwisise kutsva kwemadutu ari kukurumidza kuwedzera,” akadaro Karen St. Germain, mutungamiriri weNASA's Earth Science Division. "CYGNSS zvakare chishandiso chine simba chekuona mafashama pavhu uye mugungwa microplastic marara - ndiyo mhando yekuwedzera kukosha kwatinoda kuona, uye kuri kugadzirira nzira yesainzi yakawanda iyo ichava yakakosha munharaunda."
Iwo zviyero kubva kuCYGNSS anobatsira pakutsvagisa mukusimudzira algorithm, ongororo yekubatsira mune ramangwana rekuita modhi, uye Earth system process zvidzidzo.
Kumwe mashandiro kuchagonesa tsvakiridzo nyowani inotarisa kushanduka kwemamiriro ekunze kwenguva refu uye kuwedzera saizi yemuenzaniso wezviitiko zvakanyanyisa izvo zvinogona kubatsira nekuenzanisa uye kufanotaura. CYGNSS satellites inoramba ichitora 24/7 zviyero zvemhepo yepasi pegungwa, pasi rose uye mumadutu anopisa, ayo anogona kushandiswa kudzidza maitiro emamiriro ekunze uye kugadzirisa huwandu hwemamiriro ekunze. Panyika, ma satellite anotora zviyero zvemafashamo uye hunyoro hwevhu hunoshandiswa muzvidzidzo zvehydrological process uye kuongorora njodzi.
ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- “CYGNSS is also a powerful tool for flood detection on land and ocean microplastic debris detection – that’s the kind of added value we love to see, and it’s paving the way for more science that will have significant societal benefits.
- With a constellation of eight microsatellites, the system can view storms more frequently and in a way traditional satellites are unable to, increasing scientists’.
- CYGNSS satellites continue to take 24/7 measurements of ocean surface winds, both globally and in tropical cyclones, which can be used to study meteorological processes and improve numerical weather forecasts.
