Aquarius Science Mission Overview 4 Aquarius Science Mission Overview 4

Aquarius Mission Science Understanding the Interactions Between the Ocean Circulation, Global Water Cycle and Aquarius Mission Science Understanding the Interactions Between the Ocean Circulation, Global Water Cycle and Climate by Measuring Sea Surface Salinity WOA 2001 NOAA/NODC Global salinity patterns are linked to rainfall and evaporation Salinity affects seawater density, which in turn governs ocean circulation and climate The higher salinity of the Atlantic sustains the oceanic deep overturning circulation Salinity variations are driven by precipitation, evaporation, runoff and ice freezing and melting 5

Science Objectives and the need for Satellite Measurements World Ocean Atlas This diagram shows Science Objectives and the need for Satellite Measurements World Ocean Atlas This diagram shows the sampling distribution of all the historical surface salinity measurements • The data are much too sparse to monitor salinity variations over space and time. • Systematic global mapping is required to study the climatic interactions between the ocean and atmosphere Science Objectives: • Science Requirements: Global coverage, 150 km and monthly space/time resolution, 0. 2 psu accuracy, three year mission • Determine the mean global surface salinity field, including vast under-sampled regions • Resolve the seasonal cycle • Track interannual variations linked to changes in the water cycle and ocean currents • Improve El Niño predictability • Reduce the large uncertainty in the marine hydrological budget and its variability • 86% of mean global evaporation and 78% of global precipitation occur over the ocean • Better initialize surface hydrology in climate models to improve climate prediction 6

Aquarius/SAC-D is designed to observe the global surface salinity field for three years and Aquarius/SAC-D is designed to observe the global surface salinity field for three years and to achieve a monthly accuracy that will resolve the seasonal and interannual variability at 150 km scales. The Aquarius/SAC-D Salinity Mission Approach: • Integrated L-band ultra-stable microwave radiometer-radar, 3 fixed beams, 390 km wide swath, 7 -day repeat polar orbit • Monthly averages to reduce measurement noise and achieve 0. 2 psu RMS accuracy • Tb=εT ε = f(S, T, Freq, Incidence) 1400 -1427 MHz Protected Band WOA 2001 NOAA/NODC Three year baseline mission to resolve seasonal to interannual variability and robust mean field • Sensitivity vs Radiometer Frequency Independent calibration and validation from global in situ ocean observing system 7

AQ/SACD Communications Links • S-band 4 kbps uplink • S-band 4 kbps downlink – AQ/SACD Communications Links • S-band 4 kbps uplink • S-band 4 kbps downlink – Real time Housekeeping Telemetry (HKT) – 4000 byte frame – SAC-D, Aquarius and other instrument HKT (8 instruments total) • X-band 16 Mbps downlink – – Stored HKT; identical format to the real time HKT frame Stored science data for all instruments CCSDS Aquarius allocation is 4 Mbps 30

Operations Ground Station Network • Primary station is CONAE’s ETC facility in Cordoba, Argentina Operations Ground Station Network • Primary station is CONAE’s ETC facility in Cordoba, Argentina – Aquarius requires a download at least once every 14 hours to avoid buffer overwrite – Single station provides approximately one d/l per 10 hours if both passes taken • Orbit track typically takes AQ/SACD over ETC for two successive ascending passes and two successive descending passes. – One station outage (one “pass set”) results in data overwrite • Margin provided via the addition of a second X-band station – Italy’s ASI provides the Matera site – Global location is ideal for ETC backup; • • • approximately 90 longitudinal degrees from Cordoba. Higher latitude offers 3 successive ascending or descending passes vs. ETC’s 2. Dual station outage now required to cause data loss. System supports use of all available Matera passes ASI’s Malindi site in Kenya can be used for S-band downlink – Provides “first look” opportunity for launch vehicle separation, solar array deployment • NASA Ground Network S-band support – S-band uplink/downlink – Emergency support – Maneuver support 31

Nominal Aquarius Commanding • Nominal Aquarius commanding includes – Downlink commands – Possible software Nominal Aquarius Commanding • Nominal Aquarius commanding includes – Downlink commands – Possible software maintenace commands – Cold Sky Calibration targeting requests • Possible Science commanding includes – Radiometer control commands • Normally runs as a state machine from on-board Look Up Table (LUT) • Science may request a change to a different LUT (7 pre-programmed, 1 programmable) – Automatic thermal control system commands • Setpoint, Power, Integral, Derivative Parameter changes 32

Cold Sky Calibration • The Cold Sky Calibration is a pitch maneuver under the Cold Sky Calibration • The Cold Sky Calibration is a pitch maneuver under the control of CONAE but requested by the Aquarius science team – – Purpose is to rotate Aquarius in the direction of cold space Specific cold location is selected by AQ science team Serves as an low temperature calibration point for the Radiometer Maneuver steps are to: • Pitch toward cold sky • Cold Sky dwell is planned to be approximately 1 minute • Pitch in the reverse direction back to earth pointing • Maneuver occurs away from ground support – NGN provides pre- and post- look pass support 33

Aquarius Downlink • Two Aquarius instruments: – Radiometer (primary) – Scatterometer (ancillary) • Support Aquarius Downlink • Two Aquarius instruments: – Radiometer (primary) – Scatterometer (ancillary) • Support subsystems: – – • • All subsystems forward science and HKT in fixed formats to the ICDS packages HKT and science every 1. 44 seconds – – • Automatic Thermal Control Power Distribution Unit Instrument Command Data Subsystem (ICDS) Antenna, feeds and structure Stored in the ICDS RAD 6000 RAM 110 MB of storage capacity d/l command downloads buffer in circular fashion until stop cmd received Passed through CCSDS formatter and on to X-band transmitter ICDS packages HKT and software messages in packetized form (vs. fixed format) every 8 seconds. – – 500 bytes Passed to SACD and inserted into 4000 byte frame Stored in SACD Mass Memory When S-band transmitter is on, data is also sent to the ground in real time 34

High Level Description: Aquarius Command Planning Cycle • Aquarius operations: – prepares two weeks High Level Description: Aquarius Command Planning Cycle • Aquarius operations: – prepares two weeks of command loads each week – Forwards commands to the Planning System at ETC – Receives acknowledgement report that they were accepted as feasible or not • Approximately one week is available for changes • Then Observatory planning cycle is entered – Aquarius commands are incorporated into SACD and other instrument command plans – Final plan is reported back to Aquarius operations • Plan is uploaded with any duplicate commands deleted 35
