The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) instrument launched aboard the Japanese Space Exploration Agency Global Change Observation Mission 1st-Water, "SHIZUKU" (GCOM-W1) satellite on May 18, 2012. AMSR2 provides data on global precipitation, ocean wind speed, water vapor, sea ice concentration, brightness temperature, and soil moisture. AMSR2 NRT products are available through LANCE generally within three hours of a satellite observation.
