TROPICS (Time-Resolved Observations of Precipitation structure and storm Intensity with a Constellation of Smallsats) [5] is a 2023 NASA constellation of six small satellites, 3U CubeSats, that will measure temperature and moisture profiles and precipitation in tropical systems with unprecedented temporal frequency.
The tropics are defined as the region between the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.7″ (or 23.43603°) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.7″ (or 23.43603°) S; [8] these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth.
The Torrid Zone, between the Tropic of Cancer at 23°26′09.7″ N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23°26′09.7″ S, covers 39.78% of Earth's surface. The South Temperate Zone, between the Tropic of Capricorn at 23°26′09.7″ S and the Antarctic Circle at 66°33′50.3″ S, covers 25.99% of Earth's surface.
The 23rd parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 23 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of the Tropic of Cancer.It crosses Africa, Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, North America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic Ocean.
CIMSS also plays a major role in instrument design and testing, and related software development for improved space-based measurements of the Earth's atmosphere. CIMSS is very active in national and international field programs, testing new instrumentation, data processing systems, and assessing the geophysical utility of measurements.
On the morning of Jan. 19 between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., flakes fell in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. The high temperature that day was only in the 40s, about 30 degrees below the historical ...
"The Atlantic tropics are broken – for now," meteorologist Ryan Maue posted on X Sunday, adding that developing storms near Africa are encountering at least one problem: "Ocean temperatures at ...
Megha-Tropiques was a satellite mission to study the water cycle in the tropical atmosphere in the context of climate change. [4] A collaborative effort between Indian Space Research Organisation and French Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (), Megha-Tropiques was successfully deployed into orbit by a PSLV rocket in October 2011.
