What Does AMSU Stand For?
AMSU stands for Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit
The Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) is a satellite-based instrument designed to measure atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles. Utilizing microwave radiometry, AMSU provides critical data for weather forecasting, climate research, and atmospheric science by detecting emitted microwave radiation from the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Its high-resolution measurements enhance the understanding of weather patterns and improve predictive models, contributing significantly to global meteorological observations.
