Sensitivity and Information-Content Assessment of a Candidate Channel Configuration for the Terahertz Ice Cloud Imager Proposed for Next-Generation Fengyun Meteorological Satellites
Terahertz observations are sensitive to ice-cloud scattering but require thermodynamic context and balanced spectral sampling. This study evaluates a candidate six-band Terahertz Ice Cloud Imager (TICI) configuration for next-generation Fengyun polar-orbiting meteorological satellites. Atmospheric absorption, ice-cloud...
