• To confirm the AMSR design specifications with respect to selected frequencies and bandwidths,
• To provide early data for the development of retrieval algorithms,
• To calibrate and validate the AMSR data with underflight experiments after ADEOS-II launch, and
• To promote the scientific use of microwave radiometer data.
