Commercial Data Program, GNSS-R Ocean Surface Winds Pilot, Executive Summary

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of commercial GNSS-R observations for monitoring ocean surface winds.
Conducted a GNSS-R Pilot Study beginning in 2024
Assessed the quality of commercial GNSS-R observations
Analyzed data to determine cost-effectiveness for ocean wind monitoring
Initial assessments suggest GNSS-R observations provide quality data for ocean wind monitoring.
Results indicate potential cost savings in ocean wind measurement.
The pilot study shows promise for integrating commercial data into NOAA's operations.

Abstract

The NESDIS Commercial Data Program (CDP) conducts commercial data studies to help NOAA meet its terrestrial weather mission objectives. Starting in 2024, NOAA conducted a GNSS-R Pilot Study (GNSS-R OSW Pilot) to assess the quality and impact of available commercial GNSS-R observations as a viable, cost-effective means of ocean wind monitoring.
