Performance characteristics and design trades for an ISS Hybrid Doppler Wind Lidar G. D. Emmitt and S. Wood Simpson Weather Associates Charlottesville, Va ISS Winds Mission Science Workshop Miami, 2011

Outline Instrument design issues and data products The DLSM and OSSEs The global coverage The sampling pattern The key atmospheric variable for evaluating the expected performance of a hybrid DWL – Clouds Cloud climatology Cirrus in the tropics – Aerosols Background and enhanced – Wind variability Simulated performance profiles Summary

Instrument Design Issues Vertical coverage in cloudy regions (much of the globe) – Hybrid approach Direct detection molecular for volumes with low aerosol content (mid/upper troposphere and lower stratosphere) Coherent detection for volumes with clouds and sufficient aerosols (dust layers and lower troposphere) – Number of telescopes – Dwell times

ISS Wind Lidar Concept Hybrid Doppler Wind Lidar: – Coherent detection (2 um) for aerosol and cloud returns – Direct detection (.355 um) for molecular returns Two fixed telescopes provide forward and aft perspectives Variable dwell times allow a high spatial resolution (~ 28km) for the coherent system while allowing the direct system longer integration (~ 84 km)

The utility wavelength is.355um ** Includes: Pre LRE optics (.48), IF (.7) and LRE throughput (.74) Parameter WISSCRS/ISS Coherent(2um) WISSCRS/ISS Direct (.355um) Orbit altitude (km)350 Orbit inclination (deg)52 Nadir angle (deg)35 Energy/pulse (J)*.25.8 PRF (Hz)10100 Aperture (m).5 EAP # perspectives per cycle22 Optical eff** Heterodyne mixing eff.36 Detector eff.8.5 Integration time (sec)12(4,.1)12 Misalignment loss.42 Beam split..48 Filter throughput.17 Edge sensitivity.007 Recycling factor/margin1.6 Conversion eff.45 Wallplug eff * Duty cycle (%)100 Power required (Watts) Vertical layer depth (m)1000/500/ /1000 Beta(50) backscatter (/m/sr)2.8 x 10-9

The DLSM Used since 1988 to simulate DWL performance for OSSEs using inputs from Nature Runs. – Clouds – Subgrid scale wind variability – Aerosol distributions Simulate both direct and coherent detection Stress realistic characterization of random and systematic errors.

Doppler Lidar Simulation Model

DLSM* simulations for use in OSSEs Emphasis on the tropics. Scaling GWOS down to 350km Uses GWOS instrument performance parameters listed in a prior slide Clouds in T511 Nature Run modified to conform to ISCCP coverage statistics Has been understating very thin to subvisual cirrus effects which would be very positive for coherent detection coverage and slightly negative for direct detection accuracies. * Doppler Lidar Simulation Model

ISS Wind Lidar Coverage for three orbits

The Sampling Pattern Illuminated volume – Coherent (250m long cylinder, ~ 2m diameter footprint) Spectral domain processing provides information on turbulence intensity, BL depth, precipitation fall velocities – Direct (2000m long, ~ 50m diameter) Accuracy a function of intensity of return, presence of clouds/aerosols could be derived. Sampling pattern, a ground perspective Pattern over a hurricane

Sub-visual Cirrus Until this year, simulations done using the DLSM in support of OSSEs have not included sub-visual cirrus derived from the nature run Recent published studies of very thin and subvisual cirrus have documented a climatology (5 years, in one case) of these upper tropospheric clouds. We have modified the DLSM to generate sub- visual cirrus from the ECMWF T511 Nature Run and are currently assessing the realism of the derivation.

Summary Platform attitude drift does not appear to be a major factor in DWL data quality using pointing knowledge over pointing control. Clouds will be a major factor in DWL coverage – Direct detection (molecular) is negatively effected by the high clouds in the tropics. – However, coherent provides winds within most of the high level clouds and within the lower troposphere below. The hybrid technology approach provides the best vertical coverage for science investigations in the tropics – A direct detection subsystem is critical to tropospheric/stratospheric exchange investigations – The coherent subsystem is critical for accurate, high spatial resolution measurements in cloudy scenes and in the lower troposphere.

Japanese JEM-EF – Accommodates 9 experiment payloads – Nominal 500kg payloads – 3kW 120VDC per payload – 5 Mbits/second download data rates for single payload –.8 x 1.0 x 1.8 meters – Access to cooling loop for thermal management

JEM-EF

Key accommodation issues related to instrument performance High frequency vibrations (> 1 Hz) Slow attitude changes (+- 10 degrees) Power to PL (average and peak) Thermal management Orbital debris Data rates (uplink and downlink)

Accommodations Summary The ISS offers an attractive orbit for focusing the Wind Lidar resources on the lower latitudes where ageostrophy is most dominant. Assuming that an ISS mission would be regarded as a research science with a focus on the tropics, instrument lifetime, duty cycle and data downloads would be negotiable. At this time, no accommodation “show stoppers” have been identified. Just completed a NASA evaluation within the IDL and MDL at GSFC
