%X This data set includes passive microwave remote sensing brightness and temperature data of 0.25 degree resolution in 2002-2008 in China. 1. Data processing:NSIDC produces AMSR-E gridded brightness temperature data by interpolating AMSR-E data (6.9 GHz, 10.7 GHz, 18.7 GHz, 23.8 GHz, 36.5 GHz, and 89.0 GHz) to the output grids from swath space using an Inverse Distance Squared (ID2) method。 2. Data format:Brightness temperature files: two-byte unsigned integers, little-endian byte orderTime files: two-byte signed integers, little-endian byte order3.
