Instrument report for Honeywell Atmospheric Winds Campaign for Space (HAWCS)
Abstract
The HALAS system has proven capable of delivering timely weather information from high-altitude atmospheric lidar measurements in both ground and aircraft-based variants. A space-based HALAS represents the next frontier for technological development that would expand the geographical footprint and benefit the earth observing network, while adding valuable data to the predictive modeling mission of NOAA.
