- The specifications are defined in the AMSR2 Mission Requirement. The required accuracy is the standard accuracy of standard product defined in the mission requirement.
- Swath data is a format in which data for each footprint is stored in a two-dimensional array (observation points in scanning direction x number of scanning lines) in order of observation time.
- Vertically integrated (columnar) water vapor amount. Except sea ice and precipitating areas.
