abstract: Ensemble Median Global sea surface temperature (EMSST) is a daily SST dataset constructed by Nagoya University from an ensemble of 18 global SST products for the period from January 1, 1988 to February 28, 2019. The data set includes SST calculated as an ensemble median on each 0.25 degree by 0.25 degree grids over global ice-free oceans. The data set also includes an ensemble mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, number and kind of source products used.
purpose: This dataset was constructed to support wide-range researchers in Oceanography, Meteorology and Climatology. They will need to know basic information about sea surface temperature. The significance of this data set is that the user can utilize the rich information obtained from the ensemble of multiple products rather than selecting one of the many global SST data sets. The use of EMSST also provides more robust SST information than using a single product by eliminating and reducing the random error components among products and excluding the effects of extreme values. Furthermore, as additional information, it is possible to obtain information on the average value, spread (standard deviation), maximum value, minimum value of source products.

code: AATSR
type: AATSR
description: Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer The AATSR is carried on the European Space Agency satellite Envisat. The primary scientific objective of the AATSR is to establish continuity of the ATSR-1 and ATSR-2 observations of precise Sea Surface Temperature (SST) providing a 10 year near-continuous data set at the levels of accuracy required (0.3K or better) for climate research. The second objective is to develop and exploit the science of quantitative remote-sensing of land surfaces, particularly vegetation, through the use of the improved visible-wavelength atmospheric correction that is achievable with AATSR's two-angle view. The land and cloud measurement objectives are met through the use of an additional visible focal plane assembly, which leads to indications of * vegetation biomass; * vegetation moisture; * vegetation health and growth stage. These parameters are used to derive global vegetation indices, using established relationships, modified to incorporate the added information from AATSR's two-angle view. The visible channels are also used to measure cloud parameters, like water/ice discrimination and particle size distribution. The principle of removing atmospheric effects in sea surface temperature measurements by viewing the sea surface from two angles is the basis of the family of (A)ATSR instruments. The SST objectives are met through the use of thermal infrared channels (centred on 1.6 microns, 3.7 microns, 10.7 microns, and 12 microns), identical to those on ATSR-1 and 2, plus the (A)ATSR's unique two-angle view of the Earth's surface. Atmospheric modelling for ERS-1 has shown that ATSR, with its thermal IR channels and two-angle viewing geometry, can achieve a global accuracy in SST of better than 0.5 K. As with the AATSR thermal-infrared channels, the measurement philosophy with respect to the visible channels is to develop and exploit a capability for making accurate quantitative measurements of radiation from the Earth surface, using an on-board calibration system for basic radiometric accuracy, also using a two-angle viewing technique to obtain accurate atmospheric corrections. The principle two visible channels are at 0.87 microns and 0.67 microns respectively and provide measurements of vegetation index in the same way as AVHRR. With the atmospheric correction improvement, the system has the capability for making global measurements at 1 × 1 km resolution at nadir. An additional visible channel at 0.55 microns, to indicate, from chlorophyll content, the growth stage and health of vegetation, has also be incorporated.

description: 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.

description: 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.

type: TMI
description: 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)

description: A multi-frequency polarimetric microwave radiometer on Coriolis satellite WindSat is a satellite-based multi-frequency polarimetric microwave radiometer developed by the Naval Research Laboratory for the U.S. Navy and the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Integrated Program Office (IPO). WindSat is designed to demonstrate the viability of using polarimetric microwave radiometry to measure the ocean surface wind vector from space. The sensor provides risk reduction data that the IPO will use in the development of the Conical Microwave Imager Sounder (CMIS). WindSat is the primary payload on the Air Force Coriolis satellite, which launched in January 2003. The WindSat design allows both forward and aft views of the Earth, thus allowing comparison of wind vector retrievals using one- or two-looks. The WindSat radiometer operates in discrete bands at 6.8, 10.7, 18.7, 23.8, and 37.0 GHz.The 10.7, 18.7 and 37.0 GHz channels are fully polarimetric, while the 6.8 and 23.8 GHz channels are dual polarized only (vertical and horizontal). It uses a 1.8 m offset reflector antenna, which was launched into an 830-km sun-synchronous orbit. The WindSat design and ground processing algorithms focus on the primary mission of measuring the sea surface wind vector. However, it will produce a unique data set with numerous environmental remote sensing applications. (From: http://www.seaspace.com/products/sensors/windsat.htm)
