Special Sensor Microwave / Imager (SSM/I) Swath Web Map Service
 Entry ID: SSMIWMS

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The SSM/I is a passive microwave sensor that detects microwave radiation at four frequencies: 19.35 GHz, 22.235 GHz, 37.0 GHz, and 85.5 GHz. The 19, 37, and 85 GHz channels have dual-polarization (vertical and horizontal), while the 22 GHz channel has only vertical polarization. This yields a total of seven channels. The instrument is a conical scanning device sweeping out an approximately 1400 km ... View entire text
