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) |
