Aqua Science

NASA describes Aqua as focusing on the multi-disciplinary study of Earth's interrelated processes – atmosphere, oceans, and land surface – and their relationship to changes in the Earth system. Giving us unprecedented insight into our planet's global water cycle, Aqua is one of the siblings in a family of Earth Observing System satellites dedicated to studying the Earth and our knowledge of global climate change.

The global change research emphasized in Aqua's science instruments include:

  • atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles, clouds, precipitation
  • and radiative balance
  • terrestrial snow and sea ice
  • sea surface temperature and ocean productivity
  • soil moisture
  • improvement of numerical weather prediction
  • monitoring of terrestrial and marine ecosystem dynamics

Aqua Science Instruments:

Each of the school-bus-sized satellite's six science instruments is designed to monitor a different part of our global plumbing system. The six instruments are:

Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)
Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A)
Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB)
Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS (AMSR-E)
Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES)
