Expert system, based on instrument properties Help icon

Simplified, based on mission objectives Help icon

In "Simplified" mode, the results in the analysis are calculated by looking at each instrument's mission objectives: for each instrument we keep track of what the primary, secondary, and opportunity mission objectives are. These mission objectives indicate that an instrument is primarily envisioned to measure variable X, Y and Z, that variables A, B and C are its secondary objective, and that it may offer the opportunity to measure variables I and II although it is not optimized for that. The simplified Gap analysis produces a timeline based on this information. The simplified Gap analysis is only available for analyzing variables, not for missions.

In "Expert system" mode, the results in the analysis are calculated with an expert system. Internally, OSCAR works with a large set of 1700 rules that determine whether or not an instrument is capable of measuring a given variable, and to what degree. When you select "Expert system", the Gap analysis is performed based on this large set of rules.

	Each instrument is assigned with a 5-step rating, evaluated as a blend of several elements. For this particular Variable, the rating is driven by: the observing technique (SAR, MW or optical); for MW, the spatial resolution and the exploited frequencies; for optical, the exploited bands. RATING CRITERIA:
1	Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) High-resolution MW radiometer with frequencies 7 to 90 GHz VIS+NIR+SWIR+MWIR+TIR radiometer
2	High-resolution MW radiometer with frequencies 7 to 37 or 10 to 90 GHz Radiometer with channels in VIS+SWIR+TIR and NIR or MWIR
3	MW radiometer with frequencies at 19 + 37 + 90 GHz and/or 7 and/or 10 GHz Radiometer with channels in VIS+NIR+MWIR+TIR (i.e., missing SWIR)
4	MW radiometer with frequencies 7 to 37 GHz Radiometer with channels in VIS and NIR+SWIR or NIR+MWIR or NIR+TIR or MWIR+TIR
5	Radiometer with channels in VIS and NIR or TIR VIS or panchromatic radiometer VIS+NIR radiometer flown at L1
