AER Global Gridded AMSR-E Emissivity Atlas

Data available

Global gridded monthly mean Aqua/AMSR-E emissivities (EIA= 55º).
Frequencies: 10.65 to 89 GHz. FOV size: 51km x 29km. Earth grid: 28 km sinusoidal grid. Note: due to reliance on MODIS LST from MODIS day/night algorithm, no data are currently produced over Polar Regions.
