Hoʻomaka ka mea hana ʻino hou e hōʻiliʻili i ka ʻikepili

Hoʻokumu ʻia kēia palapala ʻāina me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻike COWVR hou, e hōʻike ana i nā alapine microwave o ka Honua, e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka ikaika o ka makani ʻili o ka moana, ka nui o ka wai i nā ao, a me ka nui o ka mahu wai i ka lewa.
ʻO kahi mea hana liʻiliʻi hou ma luna o ka International Space Station i hana i ka palapala honua mua o ka haʻahaʻa a me nā makani kai.
Ma hope o ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana ma ka International Space Station, ua hoʻomaka ʻia ʻelua mau mea kani liʻiliʻi i hoʻolālā ʻia a kūkulu ʻia e NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory ma Southern California i Ianuali 7 e hoʻomaka ai e hōʻiliʻili i nā ʻikepili e pili ana i nā makani moana o ka Honua a me ka mahu wai o ka lewa i hoʻohana ʻia no ka wānana ʻana i ke aniau a me ka moana.Pono nā ʻike koʻikoʻi.I loko o ʻelua lā, ua hōʻiliʻili ka Compact Ocean Wind Vector Radiometer (COWVR) a me ka Temporal Space Experiment in Storms and Tropical Systems (TEMPEST) i ka ʻikepili lawa e hoʻomaka ai e hana i ka palapala ʻāina.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo COWVR a me TEMPEST ma Dekemaba 21, 2021, ma ke ʻano he 24th ʻoihana hoʻolako hou ʻana o SpaceX i NASA.ʻO nā mea kani ʻelua he radiometer microwave e ana i nā loli i ka ʻalewele microwave maoli o ka Honua.ʻO nā mea kani he ʻāpana o ka US Space Force's Space Test Program Houston-8 (STP-H8), e manaʻo ana e hōʻike i hiki iā lākou ke hōʻiliʻili i ka ʻikepili o ka maikaʻi e like me nā mea kani nui e hana nei i ka orbit.
Hōʻike kēia palapala ʻāina hou mai COWVR i nā microwave 34 GHz i hoʻopuka ʻia e ka Honua ma nā latitu āpau i ʻike ʻia mai ke kahua lewa (mai 52 degere latitu ʻākau a 52 degere latitu hema).Hāʻawi kēia frequency microwave kūikawā i nā mea wānana i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka ikaika o ka makani ma ka ʻili o ka moana, ka nui o ka wai i nā ao, a me ka nui o ka mahu wai i ka lewa.
Hōʻike nā waihoʻoluʻu ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ke keʻokeʻo ma ka palapala ʻāina i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahu wai a me nā ao, ʻoiai ke kala uliuli ʻeleʻele o ka moana e hōʻike ana i ka ea maloʻo a me ka lani maʻemaʻe.Hoʻopaʻa ke kiʻi i nā kūlana ʻano maʻamau e like me ka makū a me ka ua (nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma waenakonu o ka palapala ʻāina) a me nā ʻino waena o ka latitu ma luna o ka moana.

Pono nā radiometers i kahi antenna wili i hiki iā lākou ke nānā i nā wahi nui o ka ili o ka Honua ma mua o kahi laina haiki.I loko o nā lekiō uila microwave ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole ka antenna wale nō, akā ʻo ka radiometer ponoʻī a me nā mea uila e pili ana e hoʻohuli ma kahi o 30 mau manawa i kēlā me kēia minuke.Aia nā kumu ʻepekema a me nā ʻenekinia maikaʻi no ka hoʻolālā ʻana me nā ʻāpana he nui, akā paʻakikī ka mālama ʻana i kahi mokulele me ka nui o ka neʻe ʻana.Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike ʻia nā ʻano hana no ka hoʻoili ʻana i ka ikehu a me ka ʻikepili ma waena o nā ʻaoʻao wili a me nā ʻaoʻao paʻa o ka mea hana i ka hana a paʻakikī i ka hana ʻana.
ʻO ka mea hana hoʻohui a COWVR, ʻo TEMPEST, ʻo ia ka hopena o nā ʻumi makahiki o ka hoʻopukapuka ʻana o NASA i ka ʻenehana e hoʻonui i ka uila uila.Ma ka waena waena o 2010s, ua hoʻomaka ʻo JPL engineer Sharmila Padmanabhan e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i nā pahuhopu ʻepekema e hiki ke hoʻokō ʻia ma ke kau ʻana i nā mea ʻike paʻa ma CubeSats, nā satelite liʻiliʻi loa i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia e hoʻāʻo maʻalahi i nā manaʻo hoʻolālā hou.

Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike e pili ana i nā kikowaena liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, hiki iā ʻoe ke kelepona mai iā mākou.
