## AQUB DB Adds AIRS/AMSU/HSB and AMSR_E

## New Sensor Data for AQUA DB

***AIR/AMSU/HSB will provide atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles and radiances.***
***AMSR-E will provide 6 channels of microwave radiometry which can be interpreted over oceans as sea-surface temperature, wind speed, columnar water vapor, cloud water amounts, and precipitation for U.S. scientists.***
***CERES data also is in the data stream, but there is little regional, real-time value, since it needs accurate global averages to interpret the atmospheric radiation budget.***

## Mobile NPP In-Situ Test-bed Ground System

-  Serves as a tool in gathering real-time instrument data in remote areas (at sea or land) for Instrument Calibration and Validation Campaigns.
-  Serves as the NPP/GSFC  Direct Broadcast technology test-bed and to provide demonstrations of these technologies to the user community and commercialization partners.
-  Supports real-time management and monitoring of natural or man-made emergencies via built-in spaceborne and airborne data processing tools.
