DIAS_Satellite_AMSR2_TB dataset

■Satellite/Sensor The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) onboard the GCOM-W satellite is a remote sensing instrument for measuring weak microwave emission from the surface and the atmosphere of the Earth. From about 700 km above the Earth, AMSR2 will provide us highly accurate measurements of the intensity of microwave emission and scattering. The antenna of AMSR2 rotates once per 1.5 seconds and obtains data over a 1450 km swath. This conical scan mechanism enables AMSR2 to acquire a set of daytime and nighttime data with more than 99% coverage of the Earth every 2 days. ■Product level Gridded Level1B ■Resolution 0.5deg ■Product Area [Asia] Countory/Authority,UL_LAT,UL_LON,LR_LAT,LR_LON Bangladesh,21,88,27,93 Bhutan,26.5,88.5,28.5,92.5 Cambodia,10.25,102,14.75,107.75 India,15.5,72.5,22.5,81 Indonesia,-8,105.5,-5.75,109 Japan,35.5,138.25,37.25,141 Korea,34,125.5,38.5,129.75 Lao_PDR,14,103,19.5,108 Malaysia,-1.5,100.25,6.5,104 Mongolia,45,101,50.5,113 Myanmar,16,92,28.5,100 Nepal,26.25,80,30.5,88.25 Pakistan,29,69,37,76 Philippines,13.5,119.5,18.75,122.75 Sri_Lanka,5.75,79.5,10,82 Thailand,15.5,97.25,20.5,100 Uzbekistan,39,66,42.5,73.5 Vietnam,19,102,23.5,108 [Africa] Countory/Authority,LL_LAT,LL_LON,UR_LAT,UR_LON Niger Authority,21,-12,4,17 Volta Authority,15.5,-6,5,3 Tunisia,37.5,7,30,12 Kenya,5,33,-5,42 Lake Chad Basin commision,18,10,9,19 Morocco,36,-12,27,0
