Applications
- 6.3.1 Cyclone Track Forecasting — Continuous satellite-derived wind, pressure and moisture profiling to predict tropical cyclone tracks 72–120 hours ahead with sovereign-controlled data assimilation.
- 6.3.2 Storm Intensity Monitoring — Continuously measuring tropical cyclone intensity — maximum sustained winds, central pressure, convective structure — using microwave sounders, scatterometers and passive radiometers from LEO constellations.
- 6.3.3 Eyewall Replacement Detection — Identifying and tracking eyewall replacement cycles in mature tropical cyclones to anticipate sudden intensity changes that confound standard forecast models.
- 6.3.4 Pre-Landfall Damage Modelling — Fusing satellite-derived wind fields, storm surge forecasts and high-resolution exposure data to model probable infrastructure and population damage before a cyclone makes landfall.
- 6.3.5 Post-Storm Damage Mapping — Rapidly mapping structural damage, flooding extent and infrastructure loss across cyclone-struck territory using SAR, optical and change-detection analytics within hours of landfall.
