abstract = {The prediction of tropical cyclone rapid intensification is
one of the most pressing unsolved problems in hurricane
forecasting. The signatures of gravity waves launched by
strong convective updrafts are often clearly seen in airglow
and carbon dioxide thermal emission spectra under favorable
atmospheric conditions. By continuously monitoring the
Atlantic hurricane belt from the main development region to
the vulnerable sections of the continental U.S. at high
cadence it will be possible to investigate the utility of
storm-induced gravity wave observations for the diagnosis of
impending storm intensification. Such a capability would
also enable significant improvements in our ability to
characterize the 3D, transient behavior of upper atmospheric
gravity waves, and point the way to future observing
strategies that could mitigate the risk to human life due to
severe storms. This paper describes a new mission concept
involving a mid-infrared imager hosted aboard a
geostationary satellite positioned at approximately 80°W
longitude. The sensor’s 3-km pixel size ensures that
gravity wave horizontal structure is adequately resolved,
while a 30-s refresh rate enables improved definition of the
dynamic intensification process. In this way the transient
development of gravity wave perturbations caused by both
convective and cyclonic storms may be discerned in near
realtime.},
