AMSREL1A Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency 20030619 AMSR-E/Aqua L1A Raw Observation Counts 3 Boulder, Colorado USA NSIDC: National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/data/amsrel1a.html http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/AMSR-E/AMSREL1A.003 The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) instrument on the NASA EOS Aqua satellite provides global passive microwave measurements of terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric parameters for the investigation of global water and energy cycles. AMSR-E Level 1A observation counts are processed from Level 0 science packet data by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Each half-orbit data granule consists of observation counts, antenna temperature coefficients, offsets for calculating antenna temperatures, calibration temperature counts, land/ocean flags, time, latitude, longitude, and navigation fields in HDF format. The data sampling interval is 2.6 msec for each 1.5-sec scan period for the 6.9-GHz to 36.5-GHz channels, and 1.3 msec for the 89.0-GHz channel. AMSR-E collects 243 data points per scan for the 6.9-GHz to 36.5-GHz channels, and 486 data points for the 89.0-GHz channel. Each swath spans 50 minutes. Data are available via FTP. scientific research Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency 20030619 AMSR-E/Aqua L1A Raw Observation Counts Boulder, Colorado USA NSIDC: National Snow and Ice Data Center http://nsidc.org/data/docs/daac/amsrel1a_raw_counts.gd.html 20020601 20111004 publication date Complete Unknown -180 180 90 -90 NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Microwave > Sensor Counts NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Project Keywords EOS > Earth Observing System NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords AMSR-E > Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Platform Keywords AQUA > Earth Observing System, AQUA ISO 19115 Topic Categories climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere None AMSR-E AMSREL1A ANTENNA TEMPERATURES Aqua DAAC EOSDIS EOS PM-1 Imagery JAXA NASA NSIDC Passive Microwave Radiance RADIOMETER Raw Data Raw Observation Counts Raw Sensor Counts Remote Sensing NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords Geographic Region > Global Earth Observing System, AQUA AQUA Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS AMSR-E 1 NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > Spectral/Engineering > Microwave > Sensor Counts None None NSIDC User Services National Snow and Ice Data Center mailing
