AMSR/ADEOS-II Data at NSIDC |
1. How do I order Level-1A data?
If you are a first time user of AMSR/ADEOS-II Level-1A data products, you must fill out a Registration Form. Once your registration form is recieved, it will be processed, and if it is determined that you fit the criteria for a NASA approved designated user, you will be contacted with the pertinent information for you to order the data. See the AMSR/ADEOS-II Data at NSIDC: Order Data Web page for more information.
2. What is a NASA approved designated user?
A NASA approved designated user is one who intends to use the data for research, application, or non-commercial operational use for the public benefit such as educational purposes.
3. Are any higher-level AMSR products available?
Not at this time; however, Level-2A data products may be available in the near future.
4. Why is AMSR Data only available for nine months?
On 25 December 2003, at 8:49 A.M. (JST), JAXA discovered that ADEOS-II was in light load mode (all observation equipment is automatically turned off to minimize power consumption) due to an unknown anomaly. No further earth observation data was received after that time.
