[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) was launched on May 4,
2002, aboard NASA's Aqua spacecraft. The National Space Development
Agency of Japan (NASDA) provided AMSR-E to NASA as an indispensable part of
Aqua's global hydrology mission. Over the oceans, AMSR-E is measuring a
number of important geophysical parameters, including sea surface temperature
(SST), wind speed, atmospheric ...
