福爾摩沙衛星三號(以下簡稱福衛三號)是台美雙邊國際合作計畫,於2006年發射6顆衛星,組成全球大氣即時觀測網。位於中央氣象局的福衛三號「台灣資料分析中心」,與美國資料分析與儲存中心(CDAAC)合作,在台灣同步進行科學資料2L小時即時接收、處理、儲存、分送等作業,產製大氣與電離層相關垂直分布反演資料,進行氣象作業與各項科學研發應用。截至2014年底,福衛三號資料己提供給74國家2,535位科學資料使用者。
The FORMOSAT-3 Program is a Taiwan-U.S. collaboration mission between NSPO and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research(UCAR) of the United States. Following the successful launch in April 2006, the FORMOSAT-3 6-satellite constellation was deployed to form a global earth observation network and to provide the near real-time radio occultation weather data. The Taiwan Analysis Center for COSMIC(TACC) co-located with the Central Weather Bureau in Taipei and the COSMIC Data Analysis and Archive Center(CDAAC) located in UCAR in Boulder, Colorado, are two synchronized but independently operated centers that process, analyze, distribute, and archive the retrieved near real-time FORMOSAT-3 constellation data from the remote receiving ground stations. The retrieved atmospheric and ionospheric data in vertical profiles are widely used for operational weather forecast, research, and related applications. As of the end of 2014, the FORMOSAT-3 global data user community has grown to 2, 535 registered users in 7L nations. |
