AATSR is a follow-on to the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) flown on European Remote Sensing (ERS) ERS-1 and ERS-2 spacecraft. The AATSR provided high-precision sea surface temperature measurements and bi-directional measurements of land surface in 10 channels: 0.470, 0.550, 0.670, 0.870, 1.240, 1.610, 3.750, 4.0, 10.85, and 12.0 micrometers. The AATSR gave a FOV of 500 meters in a swath of 500 km for channels up to 1.6 micrometers and 1 km FOV for channels above 1.6 micrometers.
