The Airborne Microwave Moisture Sounder (AMMS) is an airborne microwave radiometer developed at Georgia Tech. It operates across four channels (92, 174, 178, and 181 GHz) to measure brightness temperature during precipitation events. AMMS has an angular resolution of 2 degrees at 92 GHz and 1 degree at 183 GHz. It scans over an angular range of 45 degrees about nadir and has a total scan time of 4 seconds.
