The Multispectral Atmospheric Mapping Sounder (MAMS) is an airborne multispectral scanner developed by modifying NASA’s Thematic Mapping Sensor (TMS). MAMS captures reflected radiances in eight visible/near-infrared (VNIR) bands and thermal emissions in four infrared bands. It was built to study weather-related phenomena such as storm system structure, cloud-top temperature, and upper atmospheric water vapor. MAMS operates within the 0.42-12.56 μm spectral range over 12 channels. It has a horizontal resolution of 100 meters and a swath width of approximately 37 kilometers at a flight altitude of 20 kilometers. MAMS scans at a rate of 6.25 Hz.
