AMSR-E and unified AMSR (AMSR-U) products

The hydrologic cycle is the process, powered by the sun's energy, which moves water between the oceans, the sky, and the land. Atmospheric scientists look for data that would help understand and eventually predict the atmospheric phenomena. The AMSR instruments have obtained atmospheric data since 2002, which are helping in understanding the Earth's atmosphere. Long-term atmospheric products sets (15 or more years) like AMSR-U, will further the understanding of the atmospheric hydrologic cycle.
