AMSR-E will provide instantaneous measurements for the following data products:
- Rainfall over ocean with an accuracy of 1mm/hr or 20%, whichever is greater, at a spatial resolution of 5.4 km.
- Rainfall over land with an accuracy of 2 mm/hr or 40%, whichever is greater, at a spatial resolution of 5.4 km.
- Sea surface temperature, through most clouds, with an accuracy of 0.5°C at two different spatial resolutions: 56 km and 38 km.
- Total integrated water vapor over the ocean with an accuracy of 0.2 g/cm2 at a resolution of 24 km.
- Total integrated cloud water over the ocean with an accuracy of 3mg/cm2 at a resolution of 12 km.
- Ocean surface wind speed with an accuracy of 1.5 m/s at two resolutions: 38 km and 24 km.
- Surface soil wetness with an accuracy of 0.06 gm/cm3 in low-vegetation areas (biomass less than 1.5 kg/m2), at a spatial resolution of 25 km.
- Sea ice concentration at two resolutions (SSM/I grid): 12.5 km and 25 km.
- Snow depth over sea ice at a resolution of 12.5 km.
- Sea ice temperature at a resolution of 25 km.
- Snow-cover water equivalent over land.
