Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite "Himawari-8" was launched in October 2014. Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA) started its official operation of Himawari-8 satellite in July 2015. Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been developing the geophysical retrieval algorithms from Himawari observation data and has been generating the products since August 2015 in an attempt to seek synergies between Himawari and JAXA's Earth observation satellites, especially with the Global Change Observation Mission - Climate (GCOM-C), which was launched in December 2017. Several algorithms developed for GCOM-C was applied to Himawari data to produce consistent dataset, taking the opportunity of both satellites loading a multispectral imaging sensor. Application of Himawari products in numerical models and synergies with GCOM - Water (GCOM-W) are also shown.
