DESCRIPTION:Chung-Chi Lin\, ESA Head of Microwave Instruments Section in t
 he Earth Observation Programmes\nThe Post-EPS mission will be deployed in 
 the 2018 – 2020 timeframe in order to ensure continuity of the EPS (EUME
 TSAT Polar System) observation missions\, currently realised with the MetO
 p satellite series\, to support operational meteorology\, in particular fo
 r the numerical weather predictions (NWP)\, climate monitoring and to deve
 lop new environmental services.  The windscatterometer (SCA) is one of the
  high priority payload instruments to provide vector surface wind observat
 ions over ocean\, which constitute an important input to the NWP as well a
 s valuable information for tracking of extreme weather events.  The Post-E
 PS SCA shall offer observations with higher spatial resolution than those 
 provided by ASCAT on board MetOp.  Furthermore\, addition of HH polarizati
 on is considered as an option.
