What Does AATSR Stand For?

AATSR stands for Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer

The Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) is a satellite-based instrument designed to measure sea surface temperature, land surface temperature, and atmospheric properties. Utilizing advanced scanning technology, AATSR provides high-resolution data by capturing reflected solar radiation and emitted thermal infrared radiation. This instrument plays a crucial role in climate monitoring, environmental research, and supporting weather forecasting by enhancing our understanding of Earth's radiative energy balance and surface processes.
