Instruments/Variables
AMSU-A
Covers parameters such as total precipitable water (TPW), cloud liquid water (CLW), sea-ice concentration (SIC), land surface temperature (LST), land surface emissivity (LSE) for 23, 31, 50 GHz.
AMSU-B/MHS
Covers parameters such as ice water path (IWP), rain rate (RR), snow cover (SC) and snow water equivalent (SWE). To improve accuracy, visual inspections and verification of the various corrections are applied. The MHS sensor replaced AMSU-B on NOAA-15, 16, and 17 satellites.
