4. Discussion Topics Discussion Topics C:\Users\jacqui.fenner\Desktop\PTT templates\images\noaa icons\noaa_icons-10.png What are the high priority microwave imager based products? What spatial resolution, spatial coverage, refresh rate (at the poles and outside the poles), latency, and polarimetric channels that should be driving microwave imagers?
