Additional information TEMPEST-D
Provides risk mitigation for the TEMPEST mission that will provide the first temporal observations of cloud and precipitation processes on a global scale. These observations are important to understand the linkages in and between Earth?s water and energy balance, as well as to improve our understanding of cloud model microphysical processes that are vital to climate change prediction.
