Suomi NPP orbits the Earth about 14 times each day and observe nearly the entire surface. It carries five key instruments: the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS), the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS), the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), and Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES). </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:sponsor xlink:title="NASA/GSFC > Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA" xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/86832756-32D8-46E2-E040-0AC8C5AB4374"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:title="ATMS > Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder" xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8EC75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:title="CrIS > Cross-track Infrared Sounder" xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8E975F2E040AC8C5AB4576F"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:title="OMPS > Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite" xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8EF75F2E040AC8C5AB4576F"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:title="VIIRS > Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite" xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/8293FAD4B8E675F2E040AC8C5AB4576F"/> <gmi:instrument xlink:title="CERES > Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System" xlink:href="https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/docucomp/cc79ae29-4a60-4063-85b1-9acb135d6523"/> </gmi:MI_Platform>
