AMSR-E Data Access and Tools
Data collected by NASA’s Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E) instrument are integral for water cycle and precipitation rate, cloud water, water vapor, sea surface winds, sea surface temperature, ice, snow, and soil moisture efforts, among other investigations. Explore AMSR-E instrument datasets and learn more about relevant data tools.
