AMSR-E/AMSR2 Unified L3 Daily 6.25 km Polar Gridded 89 GHz Brightness Temperatures V001
The AMSR-E/AMSR2 Unified Level-3 6.25 km product includes brightness temperatures at 89.0 GHz. Data are mapped to a polar stereographic grid at a spatial resolution of 6.25 km for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This product uses the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) AMSR2 Level-1R input brightness temperatures that are calibrated (unified) across the JAXA AMSR-E and AMSR2 Level-1R products.

- Type: ECHO ORDERSDescription: NSIDC_ECS EOSDIS ECHO ORDERS Service Implementation
- Type: NOT PROVIDEDDescription: NSIDC_ECS ESI EOSDIS Service Implementation of the No Processing Service. This service provides a programmatic access API to data, but no customization options; subsetting, reformatting, and transformation are not supported through this service.
- Type: NOT PROVIDEDDescription: Our subscription service automatically sends you new data as they are delivered from active NASA satellite missions, either via SCP or HTTPS pull. This service is convenient if you require the latest data for a specific region, but you do not want to actively search and order data files regularly. The service cannot be applied to past data already archived at NSIDC.
