A continuous global record of near-surface soil freeze/thaw status from AMSR-E and AMSR2 data

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2019
Long term and consistent records of near-surface soil freeze/thaw (F/T) status are required for understanding hydrological, ecological, and biogeochemical responses of land surface to global warming.

Post-launch calibration and data evaluation of AMSR-E

IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) was developed and provided to NASA's EOS Aqua satellite by the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). AMSR-E is the modified version of AMSR onboard the Advanced Earth Orbiting Satellite-II (ADEOS-II, currently called the Midori-II).

AMSR-E and unified AMSR (AMSR-U) products

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun's energy, which moves water between the oceans, the sky, and the land. Atmospheric scientists look for data that would help understand and eventually predict the atmospheric phenomena. The AMSR instruments have obtained atmospheric data since 2002, which are helping in understanding the Earth's ...

AMSR/AMSR-E data utilization plan

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
Several types of browse images of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) and AMSR-E will be available to the public use for purposes to observe storms, sea ice, and others. The AMSR/AMSR-E data will be also transferred to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) for weather forecast, and to the Japan Fisheries Information Center (JAFIC) for marine ...

Radio Frequency Interference Trends for The AMSR-E and AMSR2 Radiometers

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
As world-wide microwave service technology advances, the associated Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) to passive Earth-observing microwave radiometers also evolves over time. This paper builds upon an RFI detection technique developed for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) and applies it to the Advanced Microwave ...

A Five-Year Validation of AMSR-E Soil Moisture Products

IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2008
Validation is an important and particularly challenging task for passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture from Earth orbit. As part of the Advance Microwave Scanning Radiometer-E (AMSR-E) validation programs networks of dedicated validation sites were developed. Measurements have been made on a continuous basis since 2002.

An Improved Soil Moisture Retrieval Algorithm Based on the Land Parameter Retrieval Model for Water–Land Mixed Pixels Using AMSR-E Data

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019
The land parameter retrieval model (LPRM) has been widely used for the retrieval of microwave-based global surface soil moisture (SSM). In the original LPRM algorithm, soil surface effective temperature (SSET) was retrieved from the Ka-band (36.5 GHz ...

AMSR/AMSR-E sea surface temperature algorithm development

IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) aboard the Advanced Earth Orbiting Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) and AMSR-E aboard the AQUA have an ability to observe sea surface temperature (SST) through clouds. An accuracy of observed SST is 0.64 C estimated by comparing with oceanic buoy's SST.

Surface Emissivity of the Arctic Sea Ice at AMSR-E Frequencies

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2009
Surface emissivity is an essential quantity to retrieve surface and atmospheric parameters from satellite measurements. The surface emissivity of the Arctic sea ice is calculated using Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) radiance.

Comparison of SMOS and AMSR-E Vegetation Optical Depth to Four MODIS-Based Vegetation Indices

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2016
The main objectives of this study were to provide a proxy “validation” of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission's vegetation optical depth product ( τ SMOS ) on a global scale, to give a first indication of the potential of τ SMOS to ...
