The ARGOS system status report after 2 years operation
Abstract
The ARGOS data collection and platform location contribution to the NOAA-TIROS program is reviewed. Of 100 platforms seen during each orbit, 60 are correctly located. Location error is 100 m. Environmental data collection for atmospheric, oceanographic, and Earth sciences is increasing with each year of system operation. Apart from real time demands for meteorology, it is not possible to meet all user requirements by the sole implementation of direct readout stations.
