MiRS Sensors
SNPP ATMS Overview
Satellite(s)
Suomi NPP, J-1, etc.
MiRS Production Status
Currently operational.
The Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) operates in conjunction with the CrIS to profile atmospheric temperature and moisture. Higher (spatial, temporal and spectral) resolution and more accurate sounding data from CrIS and ATMS will support continuing advances in data assimilation systems and NWP models to improve short- to medium-range weather forecasts.
