AMSR2 Soil Moisture Product Validation [PDF]

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) is part of the Global Change Observation Mission-Water (GCOM-W) mission. AMSR2 fills the void left by the loss of the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) after almost

An experimental 2DVAR retrieval using AMSR2 [PDF]

Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019
Abstract. A two-dimensional variational retrieval (2DVAR) is presented for a passive microwave imager. The overlapping antenna patterns of all frequencies from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 (AMSR2) are explicitly simulated to attempt retrieval of near surface wind speed and surface skin temperature at finer spatial scales than individual

Validation of spaceborne and modelled surface soil moisture products with cosmic-ray neutron probes [PDF]

, 2017
The scale difference between point in situ soil moisture measurements and low resolution satellite products limits the quality of any validation efforts in heterogeneous regions.

Evaluating Consistency of Snow Water Equivalent Retrievals from Passive Microwave Sensors over the North Central U. S.: SSM/I vs. SSMIS and AMSR-E vs. AMSR2 [PDF]

, 2017
For four decades, satellite-based passive microwave sensors have provided valuable snow water equivalent (SWE) monitoring at a global scale. Before continuous long-term SWE records can be used for scientific or applied purposes, consistency of SWE ...

Sea-Ice Production in Antarctic Coastal Polynyas Estimated From AMSR2 Data and Its Validation Using AMSR-E and SSM/I-SSMIS Data [PDF]

, 2017
Antarctic coastal polynyas are very high sea-ice production areas. The resultant large amount of brine rejection leads to the formation of dense water.

New Possibilities for Geophysical Parameter Retrievals Opened by GCOM-W1 AMSR2 [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2014
A new approach to retrieve sea surface wind speed (SWS) in tropical cyclones (TCs) from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) data is presented. Analysis of all six AMSR2 C- and X-band channel measurements over TCs is shown to efficiently help to separate the rain contribution. Corrected measurements at 6.9 and 10.65 GHz are then used to

GCOM-W AMSR2 Soil Moisture Product Validation Using Core Validation Sites [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2018
The Advanced microwave scanning radiometer 2 (AMSR2) is part of the global change observationmission-water (GCOM-W). AMSR2 has filled the gap in passive microwave observations left by the loss of theAMSR-earth observing system (AMSR-E) after almost ten years of observations.

A Blended Sea Ice Concentration Product from AMSR2 and VIIRS [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2021
An effective blended Sea-Ice Concentration (SIC) product has been developed that utilizes ice concentrations from passive microwave and visible/infrared satellite instruments, specifically the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 (AMSR2) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS).

Global Land Surface Emissivity Estimation From AMSR2 Observations

IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2016
A reliable estimate of emissivity is critical for a wide range of applications for the atmosphere, the biosphere, the lithosphere, the cryosphere, and the hydrosphere. This study uses three years (August 2012 to July 2015) of data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-2 sensor that is onboard the Global Change Observation Mission 1st Water ...
