This paper presents an overview of the Hyperspectral Microwave Photonic Instrument (HyMPI), a 2021 NASA Instrument Incubation Proposal funded project aimed at developing the very first hyperspectral microwave sensor to augment thermodynamic sounding capability from space, with a focus on the Earth’s Planetary Boundary Layer. This research responds to the recommendation expressed in the 2018 National Academies of Sciences decadal survey to accelerate the readiness of high-priority PBL observables not feasible for cost-effective spaceflight in 2017-2027. This paper provides an overview on HyMPI’s design, configured as the objective instrument concept needed to fly in the future PBL mission and presents preliminary trade studies aim at demonstrating HyMPI’s enhanced thermodynamic sounding skill in the Earth’s Planetary Boundary Layer over conventional microwave sounders from the current Program of Record.
