Dynamic Targeting for Improved Tracking of Storm Features.

Dynamic Targeting (DT) will enable future Earth Observing instruments to intelligently reconfigure and point instruments to dramatically enhance science return. In this work we present a realistic simulation study of DT for tracking of storm features. To this end we have developed several algorithms from Operations Research and Artificial Intelligence/heuristic search. We benchmark these algorithms and show that DT is a powerful tool with the potential to significantly improve science yield.
