GCOM-W1 is the first satellite in the GCOM-W series and was launched in May 2012 by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The AMSR-2 instrument onboard the GCOM-W1 satellite will continue Aqua/AMSR-E observations of water vapor, cloud liquid water, precipitation, sea surface temperature, sea surface wind speed, sea ice concentration, snow depth, and soil moisture. NESDIS processes GCOM-W1 data and generates NOAA unique operational products for users. It ingests the GCOM-W1 AMSR-2 RDRs and generates Level 1B (L1B) products with software provided by JAXA and generates Level 2 (L2) products using the GCOM-W1 AMSR2 Algorithm Software Package (GAASP) provided by NESDIS STAR. This product archive contains seven L2 products (data types): 1) Microwave Brightness Temperatures (MBT files) for 7 AMSR2 channels; 2) Precipitation Product (PRECIP files) containing Rain Rate; 3) Ocean Product (OCEAN files) containing CLW, SST, TPW, SSW, and PT/R; 4) Soil Moisture (SOIL files) containing SM/T; 5) Cryosphere (SNOW files) containing SC/D and SWE; and 6/7) Sea Ice Concentration (SEAICE-NH and SEAICE-SH files) for Northern and Southern Hemispheres. All products are orbital files, with approximately 14 to 15 files per day per product. Provides highly accurate measurements of the intensity of microwave emission and scattering. onGoing NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact continual https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/image/5abab464-7994-49fc-8a2f-ec337a11bfd4 NOAA logo JPEG Earth Science > Spectral/Engineering > Microwave > Brightness Temperature Earth Science > Atmosphere > Precipitation > Precipitation Rate Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds > Cloud Microphysics > Cloud Liquid Water/Ice Earth Science > Climate Indicators > Atmospheric/Ocean Indicators > Sea Surface Temperature Indices Earth Science > Cryosphere > Snow/Ice > Snow Cover Earth Science > Cryosphere > Snow/Ice > Snow Depth Earth Science > Climate Indicators > Cryospheric Indicators > Sea Ice Concentration theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
