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.

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.
