E whakaatu ana tēnei mahere, i hangaia mā te whakamahi i ngā tirohanga COWVR hou, i ngā auau ngaruiti o te Ao, e whakarato ana i ngā mōhiohio mō te kaha o ngā hau o te mata o te moana, te nui o te wai i roto i ngā kapua, me te nui o te mamaoa wai i roto i te āhuarangi.
Nā tētahi taputapu iti auaha i runga i te Teihana Ātea o te Ao i hanga te mapi tuatahi o te haumākū me ngā hau moana.
Whai muri i te tāutanga ki te Teihana Wāhi Ātea o te Ao, e rua ngā taputapu iti i hangaia, i hangaia hoki e te Jet Propulsion Laboratory a NASA i te tonga o California i whakarewaina i te 7 o Hānuere hei tīmata kohikohi raraunga mō ngā hau moana o te Ao me te mamaoa wai o te āhuarangi e whakamahia ana mō ngā matapae huarere me te moana. E hiahiatia ana ngā mōhiohio matua. I roto i ngā rā e rua, kua kohia e te Compact Ocean Wind Vector Radiometer (COWVR) me te Temporal Space Experiment in Storms and Tropical Systems (TEMPEST) ngā raraunga hei tīmata hanga i te mahere.
I whakarewahia a COWVR me TEMPEST i te 21 o Hakihea, 2021, hei wāhanga o te 24 o ngā misioni tuku taonga arumoni a SpaceX ki a NASA. He ine irahiko ngaruiti ngā taputapu e rua e ine ana i ngā huringa o te irahiko ngaruiti tūturu o te Ao. He wāhanga ēnei taputapu o te Kaupapa Whakamātautau Mokowā a te US Space Force Houston-8 (STP-H8), e whai ana ki te whakaatu ka taea e rātou te kohikohi raraunga he rite te kounga ki ngā taputapu nui ake e mahi ana i te ara iahiko i tēnei wā.
E whakaatu ana tēnei mahere hou mai i te COWVR i ngā ngaruiti 34 GHz e tukuna ana e te Ao i ngā whānui katoa e kitea ana mai i te teihana mokowhiti (mai i te 52 nekehanga raki ki te 52 nekehanga tonga). Mā tēnei auau ngaruiti motuhake ka hoatu he mōhiohio ki ngā matapae huarere mō te kaha o ngā hau i te mata o te moana, te nui o te wai i roto i ngā kapua, me te nui o te mamaoa wai i roto i te āhuarangi.
Ko ngā tae kakariki me te mā i runga i te mapi e tohu ana i te nui ake o te kohu wai me ngā kapua, ko te tae kikorangi pouri ia o te moana e tohu ana i te hau maroke me te rangi mārama. E hopukina ana e te whakaahua ngā āhuatanga o te rangi pēnei i te makuku me te ua o te rohe pārūrū (he rārangi kakariki kei waenganui o te mapi) me ngā awha o te rangi waenga i runga i te moana.
Me whai pūihi hurihuri ngā mita reo irirangi kia taea ai e rātou te tirotiro i ngā wāhi whānui o te mata o te Ao, kaua ki te rārangi whaiti noa iho. I roto i ngā atu mita reo irirangi mokowā katoa, ehara i te mea ko te pūihi anake, engari ko te mita reo irirangi tonu me ngā hikohiko e pā ana ka hurihuri tata ki te 30 ngā wā i te meneti. He pai ngā take pūtaiao me te hangarau mō te hoahoa me te maha o ngā wāhanga hurihuri, engari he wero te pupuri i te pumau o te waka mokowhiti me te nui o te papatipu neke. Hei tāpiri, kua kitea he mahi nui, he uaua hoki te hanga i ngā tikanga mō te whakawhiti pūngao me ngā raraunga i waenga i ngā taha hurihuri me ngā taha tūmau o te taputapu.
Ko te taputapu tautoko a COWVR, arā, a TEMPEST, he hua nō ngā tekau tau o te haumitanga a NASA ki te hangarau hei hanga i ngā hiko ātea kia iti ake. I waenganui o te tekau tau 2010, ka tīmata te whakaaro o te miihini JPL a Sharmila Padmanabhan mō ngā whāinga pūtaiao ka taea te whakatutuki mā te whakanoho i ngā pūoko kia iti ki runga i ngā CubeSat, arā, ngā amiorangi tino iti e whakamahia ana hei whakamātautau i ngā ariā hoahoa hou, he iti te utu.
Mena kei te hiahia koe ki te mōhio mō ngā teihana huarere iti, whakapā mai ki a mātou.
