Characteristics of AMSR-E slow rotation data

2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) had been operated in special slow rotation mode to obtain continuous brightness temperatures for the inter-comparison with those of AMSR2 on the Global Change Observation Mission-Water (GCOM-W) for three years.

Global SWE monitoring using AMSR-E data

IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004
We demonstrate the "baseline" global snow water equivalent retrieval (SWE) algorithm using Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer EOS (AMSR-E). Daily, pentad and monthly records for March 2003 of AMSR-E SWE estimates are generated and gridded to the 25 km EASE-grid projection.

Coastal flood monitoring based on AMSR-E data

2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
The coastal floods induced by hurricane storm surge are frequent, costly, and deadly hazards. Accurately and quickly estimating the spatial extent of floods is highly important for relief and rescue operations. In this study, we present an approach to estimate the extent of large-scale coastal floods using AMSR-E data through mixed-pixel linear ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Impact of Surface Roughness on AMSR-E Sea Ice Products

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2006
This paper examines the sensitivity of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) brightness temperatures (Tbs) to surface roughness by a using radiative transfer model to simulate AMSR-E Tbs as a function of incidence angle at which the surface is viewed.
