Abstract

This article describes recent advances in the capability of new satellite sensors for observing Tropical Cyclones (TC) fine structure, wind field, and temporal evolution. The article is based on a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report prepared for the 10th International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC), held in Bali in December 2022, and its objective is to present updates in TC research and operation every four years. Here we focus on updates regarding the most recent space-based TC observations, and we cover new methodologies and techniques using polar orbiting sensors, such as C-band synthetic aperture radars (SARs), L-band and combined C/X-band radiometers, scatterometers, and microwave imagers/sounders. We additionally address progress made with the new generation of geostationary and small satellites, and discuss future sensors planned to be launched in the next years. We then briefly describe some examples on how the newest sensors are used in operations and data assimilation for TC forecasting and research, and conclude the article with a discussion on the remaining challenges of TC space-based observations and possible ways to address them in the near future.

热带气旋的遥感和分析：当前和新出现的卫星传感器

本文介绍了新型卫星传感器在观测热带气旋精细结构、风场和时间演变方面的最新进展。这篇文章基于世界气象组织（WMO）为2022年12月在巴厘岛举行的第10届国际热带气旋研讨会（IWTC）准备的一份报告，其目标是每四年介绍一次热带气旋研究和运作的最新情况。在这里，我们关注最新的天基TC观测的更新，我们涵盖了使用极轨传感器的新方法和技术，如C波段合成孔径雷达（sar）， l波段和组合C/ x波段辐射计，散射计和微波成像仪/探测仪。我们还讨论了在新一代地球静止卫星和小型卫星方面取得的进展，并讨论了计划在今后几年内发射的未来传感器。然后，我们简要描述了一些最新传感器如何用于TC预测和研究的操作和数据同化的示例，并讨论了TC天基观测的剩余挑战以及在不久的将来解决这些挑战的可能方法。

期刊介绍： Tropical Cyclone Research and Review is an international journal focusing on tropical cyclone monitoring, forecasting, and research as well as associated hydrological effects and disaster risk reduction. This journal is edited and published by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee (TC) and the Shanghai Typhoon Institute of the China Meteorology Administration (STI/CMA). Contributions from all tropical cyclone basins are welcome. Scope of the journal includes: • Reviews of tropical cyclones exhibiting unusual characteristics or behavior or resulting in disastrous impacts on Typhoon Committee Members and other regional WMO bodies • Advances in applied and basic tropical cyclone research or technology to improve tropical cyclone forecasts and warnings • Basic theoretical studies of tropical cyclones • Event reports, compelling images, and topic review reports of tropical cyclones • Impacts, risk assessments, and risk management techniques related to tropical cyclones
