Michelson Interferometer for Global High-Resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) On-Orbit Wind Observations: Data Analysis and Instrument Performance

Abstract: The design, principles of operation, calibration, and data analysis approaches of the Michelson Interferometer for Global High-resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) on the NASA Ionospheric Connection (ICON) satellite have been documented prior to the ICON launch. Here we update and expand on the MIGHTI wind data analysis and discuss the on-orbit instrument performance. In particular, we show typical raw data and we describe key processing steps, including the correction of a “signal-intensity dependent pha… Show more

“…As previous studies have discussed (e.g., Englert et al., 2023), it takes longer than a month (48 days) for ICON/MIGHTI to achieve full local‐time coverage at all latitudes. Despite that, our method described above allows to determine tides for each month for the following reasons.…”

“…Thus, it was previously difficult to obtain reliable climatological estimates of zonal‐mean winds and tides. The v05 data avoids this issue by the use of a renewed baseline calibration technique (Englert et al., 2023).…”
