Alternate names: Advanced Microwave Radiometer-C, Advanced Microwave Radiometer-Climate Quality
Description: The AMR-C instrument is provided by NASA/JPL with the objective to measure the altimeter signal path delay due to tropospheric water vapor. AMR-C measures the 18.7 GHz, 23.8 GHz and 34.0 GHz sea surface microwave brightness temperatures. AMR-C is a successor to the AMR heritage radiometers.
Rationale: This AMR instrument is not exactly the same as its predecessors and has its own name.
