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