Earth observing system

GEOSS Global system incorporating all Earth-observing systems. It combines basic spaceborne systems of observations of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and land. 

ADEOS An improved, satellite Earth-observing system equipped with modernized radiometer of the visible and near-IR intervals (AYNIR), ocean color and temperature scanner (OCTS), and radiometer POLDER to carry out global systematic measurements of polarization and spectral characteristics of solar radiation reflected by the Earth-atmosphere system. The satellite ADEOS-2/ Midori-2 was launched on December 14, 2002 by the Japan Space Agency and is an ideal means of global monitoring. 

EOS The Earth-observing system including Terra, Aqua, Aura, AM-1, and other satellites. It is equipped with sensors to record data on clouds and ERB, altimeter, acoustic atmospheric lidar, laser wind gauge, and gives information about volcanic eruptions.
