AB: The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) was launched aboard NASA's Aqua Satellite on 4 May 2002. With six instruments aboard, the Aqua Satellite travels in a polar, sun-synchronous orbit. AMSR-E is a multichannel passive microwave radiometer that is capable of measuring geophysical variables in the global water cycle, such as snow, sea ice, sea surface temperature, precipitation and soil moisture, providing finer spatial resolution than previously possible with spaceborne microwave radiometers. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) archives and distributes all AMSR-E standard products, including Levels 1A, 2, and 3 data. This poster provides an overview of each of the AMSR-E data products, including browse images. For more information about AMSR-E data products available from NSIDC, please see http://nsidc.org/data/amsr.
