AATSR-NR
AATSR-NR
Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer Near Realtime
Within the GHRSST (GODAE High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature) satellite data project, AATSR_NR is ENVISAT AATSR near real time 1km SSTskin data. "SSTskin is defined within GHRSST-PP as the radiometric temperature of the surface measured by an infrared radiometer operating in the 10 - 12 µm waveband. Physically it represents the temperature of the water at a depth of approximately 10 - 20 µm." (definition from http://www.medspiration.org/science/). Launched in March 2002 by the European Space Agency, ENVISAT is an advanced polar-orbiting Earth observation satellite which provides measurements of the atmosphere, ocean, land, and ice (see http://envisat.esa.int/).

Advanced Baseline Imager
GCMD Instrument Keyword: ABI > Advanced Baseline Imager => 12a671f6-d18d-405a-9ff5-432ef2b94135
More information:
The Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) is the primary instrument on GOES-16 for imaging Earth’s weather, climate and environment. It was designed and built by Exelis Geospatial Systems (formerly ITT Space Systems, now Harris Space & Intelligence Systems), along with sub-contractors BAE Systems, Babcock Incorporated, BEI Technologies, DRS Technologies, L-3 Communications SSG-Tinsley, and Northrop Grumman Space Technology.[14] ABI is able to view the Earth across 16 spectral bands, including two visible channels, four near-infrared channels and ten infrared channels. It provides three times more spectral information, up to four times the spatial resolution (depending on the band), and more than five times faster coverage than the instruments on previous GOES satellites. Forecasters use the higher resolution images to track the development of storms in their early stages.[15] Instruments nearly identical to ABI are used by Japan on Himawari 8 and Himawari 9.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOES-16, retrieved 2018-03-30)
The Advanced Baseline Imager is the primary instrument on the GOES-R Series for imaging Earth’s weather, oceans and environment. ABI views the Earth with 16 different spectral bands (compared to five on the previous generation of GOES), including two visible channels, four near-infrared channels, and ten infrared channels.
It provides three times more spectral information, four times the spatial resolution, and more than five times faster temporal coverage than the previous system.
ABI is a mission critical payload for the GOES-R Series, providing more than 65 percent of all mission data products currently defined.
ABI is a multi-channel passive imaging radiometer designed to observe the Western Hemisphere and provide variable area imagery and radiometric information of Earth’s surface, atmosphere and cloud cover. The instrument has two scan modes. The default mode concurrently takes a full disk (Western Hemisphere) image every 15 minutes, an image of the Continental U.S. every five minutes, and two smaller, more detailed images of areas where storm activity is present, every 60 seconds. The ABI can also operate in continuous full disk mode, providing uninterrupted scans of the full disk every 5 minutes. All ABI bands have on-orbit calibration.

AMSR-E
AMSR-E
Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS
NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) Aqua Satellite was launched from Vandenberg AFB, California on May 4, 2002 at 02:54:58 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. The primary goal of Aqua, as the name implies, is to gather information about water in the Earth's system. The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - EOS (AMSR-E) is a one of the six sensors aboard the satellite Aqua. AMSR-E is passive microwave radiometer, modified from the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II (ADEOS-II) AMSR, designed and provided by NASDA (contractor: Mitsubishi Electric Corporation). It observes atmospheric, land, oceanic, and cryospheric parameters, including precipitation, sea surface temperatures, ice concentrations, snow water equivalent, surface wetness, wind speed, atmospheric cloud water, and water vapor. (From: http://www.ghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/AMSR/)
AVHRR-3
AVHRR-3
Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer-3
The AVHRR-3 is a six channel scanning radiometer providing 3 solar channels in the visible-near infrared region and 3 thermal infrared channels. The AVHRR-3 has two one-micrometer wide channels between 10.3 and 12.5 micrometers. This latest version of AVHRR was first carried on NOAA-15 launched in May 1998 and subsequently in all current NOAA and MetOp platforms. Measuring the same view, this array of diverse wavelengths, after processing, permits multi spectral analysis for more precisely defining hydrologic, oceanographic, and meteorological parameters. Comparison of data from two channels is often used to observe features or measure various environmental parameters. The three channels operating entirely within the infrared band are used to detect the heat radiation from and hence, the temperature of land, water, sea surfaces, and the clouds above them.

JAMI
JAMI
Japanese Advanced Meteorological Imager
Also known as MTSAT Imager (Multi-functional Transport Satellite Imager) and MTSAT 1R Imager.
The JAMI instrument has been designed and developed by Raytheon SBRS (Santa Barbara Remote Sensing) of Goleta, CA under contract to Space Systems/Loral and was carried on Japanese MTSAT-1R satellite (a replacement for MTSAT-1). This instrument has a visible channel at 0.55-0.90 µm; three Thermal Infra Red (TIR) Imaging channels (3.5-4.0 µm, 10.3-11.3 µm and 11.5-12.5 µm) as well as an infrared channel at 6.5-7.0 µm. Radiation in JAMI sensor is collected by a telescope with an aperture of 311 mm and focal length of 895 mm and focussed onto photovoltaic mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors. The size of the detectors is 50 µm square, giving an angular resolution of 56 µrad and hence a linear resolution of 2 km at nadir. The nadir sampling interval, and effective resolution is 4 km. MTSAT-1R that was launched in 2005 at 140 deg. East is operational since mid-2005.

TMI
TMI
Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI)is a passive microwave sensor designed to provide quantitative rainfall information over a wide swath under the TRMM satellite. By carefully measuring the minute amounts of microwave energy emitted by the Earth and its atmosphere, TMI will be able to quantify the water vapor, the cloud water, and the rainfall intensity in the atmosphere. It is a relatively small instrument that consumes little power. This, combined with the wide swath and the good, quantitative information regarding rainfall make TMI the "workhorse" of the rain-measuring package on THE Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission.
TMI is not a new instrument. It is based on the design of the highly successful Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) which has been flying continuously on Defense Meteorological Satellites since 1987. The TMI measures the intensity of radiation at five separate frequencies: 10.7, 19.4, 21.3, 37, 85.5 GHz. These frequencies are similar to those of the SSM/I, except that TMI has the additional 10.7 GHz channel designed to provide a more-linear response for the high rainfall rates common in tropical rainfall. The other main improvement that is expected from TMI is due to the improved ground resolution. This improvement, however, is not the result of any instrument improvements, but rather a function of the lower altitude of TRMM 218 miles (350 kilometers) compared to 537 miles (860 kilometers) of SSM/I). TMI has a 487 mile (780-kilometer) wide swath on the surface. The higher resolution of TMI on TRMM, as well as the additional 10.7 GHz frequency, will make TMI a better instrument than its predecessors. (From: http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/overview_dir/tmi.html)

OTHER INFORMATION:
The MetOp series of satellites has been developed as part of a joint undertaking between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), whereby MetOp forms the space segment of EUMETSAT's Polar System (EPS). Moreover, MetOp is the European contribution to a new cooperative venture with the American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Initial Joint Polar Satellite System. MetOp-A is the first of a series of three satellites.
Launched: 19 October 2006
Declared operational: 15 May 2007
MetOp-B (Meteorological Operational satellite-B)
Platform Class: 65-Orbiting satellite
