The CYGNSS mission introduces a new paradigm in lowcost Earth science missions that employs a constellation of
science-based microsats to fill a gap in capabilities of existing large systems at a fraction of the cost.
The CYGNSS observatories will make frequent wind
observations, and wind observations in precipitating conditions, using GPS reflectometry to observe the TC inner
core ocean surface. These efforts will result in unprecedented coverage of winds within a TC throughout its life
cycle and thus provide critical data necessary for advancing
the forecast of TC intensification.
