CONSTELLATIONS OF THE FUTURE
A multi-layered approach to weather observation requires satellites, of various sizes and in multiple orbits, and ground systems working together to ensure critical decision-making data gets in the hands of those who need it most. L3Harris rapidly delivers affordable end-to-end solutions by streamlining sensor development, spacecraft procurement, system integration, launch, ground system and mission operations for our mission partners.

The New Age of Climate Monitoring
Today, gaining deep insights into the intricacies of climate change on a global level and its relationship to increasingly severe, life-threating weather is a top priority for scientists. For more than five decades, L3Harris has worked with NOAA to design and build critical weather satellite technology to monitor severe weather and improve daily weather forecasts. CrIS provides a continuous record of temperature changes over time, while ABI captures the effect that climate change has on our environment. An ABI in a tundra orbit could also enhance snow and ice measurements in the arctic. They each play a fundamental role in understanding chemistry and climate interactions.

Advances climate science by providing measurement con-tinuity for long-term weather observations, a key indicator
for climate change measurement, and predictions
A Rising Concern
ABI’s ability to measure snow and ice—
one of the most under-sampled parts of the climate system—will be increasingly essential to weather forecasters, climate scientists and numerous industries.
Advancing ABI will give scientists a better understanding of the impact snow and ice has on water supply, agriculture, mar-ine navigation, hydropower, flooding, droughts, sea level rise and other growing global concerns.

Life-saving Severe Weather Predictions and Warnings
According to the National Weather Service, the average lead time for a tornado warning is 9 minutes. In LEO, rich temperature and moisture observation from CrIS support targeted warnings for tornados and severe storms. Deploying a hyperspectral sounder, like CrIS, in GEO would enable early warning of imminent tornados – potentially up to 6 hours before touchdown. CrIS supports long-term forecasting, but a sounder in GEO is critical for tornados and other quick-changing storms.
