What Does ATSR Stand For?
ATSR stands for Along Track Scanning Radiometer
The Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) is a sophisticated satellite-based remote sensing instrument designed to measure the Earth's surface and atmospheric properties. Utilizing a dual-view approach, the ATSR captures thermal infrared and visible light data while observing the Earth in a series of along-track scans. This capability enables precise monitoring of land and ocean temperatures, enhancing our understanding of climate change, weather patterns, and environmental processes. The ATSR has been instrumental in providing high-resolution imagery and data for scientific research and applications in fields such as meteorology, oceanography, and Earth system science.
