Earth Observing Satellites use various portions of the EM spectrum

- - - - Aqua -carries six instruments to observe interactions among the four sphere's for earth's systems: oceans, land, atmosphere, and biosphere
        AURA - studies earth's ozone, air quality, and climate though observation of composition, chemistry, and dynamics of the atmosphere
        CALIPSO - studies thickness of clouds and aerosols for understanding of how much air pollution is present and changes in compositions in the atmosphere.
        CloudSat - monitors the state of earth's atmosphere and weather through radar, which can be used to predict which clouds produce rain, observe snowfall, and monitor the moisture content of clouds
        Deep Space Climate Observatory - To study the Sun-lit side of Earth from the L1 Lagrange point
        ECOSTRESS - The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) will measure the temperature of plants and use that information to better understand how much water plants need and how they respond to stress.
        Global Precipitation Measurement - studies global precipitation
        GRACE - observes and measures earth's gravitational field, which may help determining the shape and composition of the planet's distribution of water and ice
        ICESAT - keeps track of size and thickness of earth's ice sheets
        Jason - uses a radar altimeter to monitor ocean surface height
        Orbiting Carbon Observator (OCO-2) - Watching the Earth breathe from space... Measuring carbon dioxide from space.
        QUICKScat- monitors weather using bursts of microwaves which measure wind speeds
        SEASTAR - designed to monitor the color of earth's oceans
        SMAP- Measures soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state, which enhance understanding of processes that link water, energy, and carbon cycles to extend the capabilities of weather and climate models.
        SORCE - monitors total output from the sun for understanding of earth's absorption of radiation energy
        TERRA - carries five instruments to observe the state of the atmosphere, land, and oceans, as well as their interactions with solar radiation and with one another
