The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (ASMR), a remote sensing device mounted on the GCOM-W1 satellite, measures weak microwave emission from the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. ASMR gives us extremely precise measurements of the microwave emission and scattering intensity from a distance of 700 km above the surface of the planet.
ASMR antenna spins once every 1.5 seconds while collecting data over a 1450 km swath. With the use of this conical scan mechanism, AMSR2 can collect a collection of daylight and nighttime data every two days that covers more than 99% of the planet.
The Global Microwave Scanning Radiometers market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
AMSR-E measures geophysical factors that aid in several global change scientific and monitoring initiatives, such as precipitation, oceanic water vapour, cloud water, near-surface wind speed, sea surface temperature, soil moisture, snow cover, and sea ice characteristics.
The understanding of the Earth’s climate depends on all of these measurements. The Earth’s surface and atmosphere are measured by AMSR-2 for weak microwave emission. AMSR-2 delivers extremely precise measurements of the microwave emission and scattering intensity from a distance of 700 km above the surface of the planet.
Data are collected over a 1450 km swath by the AMSR-2 antenna, which rotates once every 1.5 seconds. As a result, every two days, AMSR-2 is able to collect a combination of daylight and nighttime data that covers more than 99% of the planet. The AMSR instruments are passive, dual-polarised, conical scanning microwave devices.
The National Space Development Agency of Japan created and provided the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s EOS Aqua satellite as one of the mission-critical tools.
A modified version of AMSR called AMSR-E was launched on board the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II in December 2002. (ADEOS-II). It is a passive microwave radiometer with six frequencies and dual polarisation that monitors water-related geophysical parameters to aid in the study and monitoring of climate change.
