Wintertime Emissivities of the Arctic Sea Ice Types at the AMSR2 Frequencies
Remote Sensing, 2022 The surface effective emissivities of Arctic sea ice are calculated using Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) measurements. These emissivities are analyzed for stable winter conditions during the months of January–May and November and ...

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 10 years.

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

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
