7.1 Abstract■Satellite/Sensor
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) onboard the GCOM-W satellite is a remotesensing instrument for measuring weak microwave emission from the surface and the atmosphere ofthe Earth. From about 700 km above the Earth, AMSR2 will provide us highly accurate measurementsof the intensity of microwave emission and scattering.
The antenna of AMSR2 rotates once per 1.5 seconds and obtains data over a 1450 km swath. Thisconical scan mechanism enables AMSR2 to acquire a set of daytime and nighttime data with more than
99% coverage of the Earth every 2 days.
