NASA | Aqua's AMSR-E Scans Earth's Water Cycle

The video discusses the AMSR-E instrument, a microwave radiometer on the Aqua satellite, which helps monitor Earth's weather, climate, and biosphere. It can see through clouds, providing data on sea ice, sea surface temperatures, and climate change. AMSR-E is crucial for understanding the water cycle, tracking sea ice dynamics, and aiding hurricane forecasting. It offers valuable insights into global warming and climate events like La Niña, even in conditions without sunlight.
