Summary
Abstract: AMSR-E was modified for Aqua from the design used for AMSR which will
be onboard ADEOS-2.

@AMSR-E and AMSR are microwave sensors capable of accurately
acquiring weak radiation from land surface and atmosphere with its
wide frequency bands and to obtain necessary data for the study of
earth hydrologic circulation. Microwave sensors, unlike optical
sensors, can continuously observe night and day and regardless of
weather. Allocating AMSR on a morning orbit and AMSR-E on an afternoon
orbit allows observation of everyday changes of the earth's
environment, and it is expected to contribute to the study of the
earth's environmental system.
