This article describes recent advances in the capability of new satellite sensors for observing Tropical Cyclones (TC) fine structure, wind field, and temporal evolution. The is based on a World Meteorological Organization (WMO) report prepared 10th International Workshop (IWTC), held Bali December 2022, its objective to present updates TC research operation every four years. Here we focus regarding most space-based observations, cover methodologies techniques using polar orbiting sensors, such as C-band synthetic aperture radars (SARs), L-band combined C/X-band radiometers, scatterometers, microwave imagers/sounders. We additionally address progress made with generation geostationary small satellites, discuss future planned be launched next then briefly describe some examples how newest are used operations data assimilation forecasting research, conclude discussion remaining challenges observations possible ways them near future.
