The Advanced Microwave Radiometer-C (AMR-C) is a multi-spectral passive microwave radiometer used to correct the radar altimeter instrument measurement aboard the Sentinel-6/Michael Freilich platform. The radiometer accounts for the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which affects the speed of the altimeter’s radar pulses. The Sentinel-6/Michael Freilich platform will continue sea surface height measurements which have been acquired by the Topex-Poseidon and Jason missions since the 1990s.
We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.
